This is a color composite image made by Karen Gloria at Hopkins Observatory using a 6-inch refractor and a 512x512 element CCD detector. ... This is a planetary nebula (see also the Planetary Nebula page on this server). It is relatively small, measuring approximately 8x4 arcminutes. Overall, the surface brightness of the extended ionized gas emission is one of the highest for any PN and therefore this object is easily seen through even small telescopes (including most finders). ...
