IsWe 2 (Ishida Weinberger 2, PN G107.7+07.8, PK 107+07 1 and others) is a faint planetary nebula located approximately 850 light-years away in Cepheus. This might be the faintest object I’ve imaged. Placed well in the sky, I was able to point at it over many nights when the moon was an issue.

Seven hours of OIII exposures didn’t pick up any nebulous data.
