Description

This object is a tiny planetary nebula located 4000 light years away in the constellation of Aquila. It spans an apparent width of less than one minute. The bluish central star is clearly visible.

I like the bright white inner ring. It is fairly wide and has a unique, detailed structure. It even has a bit of a spiral appearance. Despite having an interesting look, the nebula has no popular nickname.
