General heavenly equation governs anti-self-dual gravity

We show that the general heavenly equation, suggested recently by Doubrov and Ferapontov \cite{fer}, governs anti-self-dual (ASD) gravity. We derive ASD Ricci-flat vacuum metric governed by the general heavenly equation, null tetrad and basis of 1-forms for this metric. We present algebraic exact solutions of the general heavenly equation as a set of zeros of homogeneous polynomials in independent and dependent variables. A real solution is obtained for the case of neutral signature.
