NGC 6026 is a Planetary Nebula in the Lupus constellation. NGC 6026 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 12.9, NGC 6026 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 10 inches (250mm) or more.

From Redmond , NGC6026 is not readily observable since it lies so far south that it will never rise more than 7° above the horizon. "PK Catalogue of Galactic Planetary Nebulae", L. Kohoutek, 2000. All times shown in Redmond local time.

It is a magnitude 12.5 PN which spans 1 arc-minute in our apparent view. This corresponds to a diameter of 3 light years. The OIII signal is stronger than the HII signal throughout. The nebula is very unusual, with a diffuse hexagon-shaped rim, the hint of an inner ring, and some structure.

NGC6026 Daily Motion Tonight, observing NGC6026 may prove challenging owing to its low elevation. It will reach its transit at by 09:09 and set before sunset at 13:05.

NGC 6026 ist ein 12,9 mag heller planetarischer Nebel im Sternbild Wolf und etwa 9500 Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt. Er wurde am 8. Juni 1837 von John Herschel mit einem 18-Zoll-Spiegelteleskop entdeckt, [ 3 ] der dabei „F, S, R, 15 arcseconds, gpmbM.

Here, we present the results of time-resolved photometry of the binary central stars (CSs) of the PNe NGC 6026 and NGC 6337 as well as time-resolved spectroscopy of the CS of NGC 6026. The results of a period analysis give an orbital period of 0.528086 (4) days for NGC 6026 and a photometric period of 0.1734742 (5) days for NGC 6337.

Oct 6, 2022 · NGC 6026 - posted in Sketching: Another circular planetary nebula; this one is a bit more challenging. I noticed a brightening in the disk, but looking at images, it looks like that is actually 2 stars close to each other.
