The nebula, named Pistachio, although appearing ‘dim,’ is nearly the size of the full moon. In the image, the Pistachio Nebula is visible with its oxygen emission (blue) and hydrogen emission (red).

According to NASA, it is quite common for amateurs with even small telescopes to capture long exposures of sky areas much larger than most professional telescopes can see and discover previously unknown areas and objects, such as the discussed nebula.
