Description

This large (spanning 22 arc min) but rather faint ancient planetary nebula was discovered by Ishida and Weinberger in 1987. It also has the designations PNG 149.7-03.3 and PK 150-031). It is 1400 light years away, and has a diameter of 9 light years.

As a bonus I accidentally caught a possible planetary nebula near the bottom edge of the image, seen as a rather small red circular object to the right of the center line. It is PNG 150.1-04.5 (or IPHASX J034659.8+484900).

The rather pretty blue reflection nebula at 8 o'clock from IsWe 1 has apparently no designation.
