Description

Not much information available on this small bright PN, but there was a nice description of its finer features visible with larger scopes:

http://chart32.de/component/k2/planetaty/ngc-6852-pn-in-aquila

NGC6852 is a mag 12.6 planetary nebula with an apparent inner diameter of 28 arc-sec showing nice details.

Additionally it is showing some very faint bipolar outer structures mainly in O-III band.

The outer features marked in the white boxes of the cropped image were discovered by the Galactic Planetary Nebula Halo Survey (GPNHS) team in November 2016 using this image.

In the longest dimensions, the outer parts have a size of 1.3 arcminutes.
