Description

NGC6804 is a small and rarely imaged planetary nebula in the constellation Aquila. (<20 times at this scale from my quick search on the site)

The size of the nebula is approximately 1.1 x 0.8 arcminutes, and the brightness of the central star is 14.4 magnitude.

After getting a first look at this PN in my Barnard's E shot in September and seeing a hint of it's structure being revealed,  I managed to put to good use a moonlite night in October to get a closer look at this object. :-)
