Description

The clouds parted on New Years eve after nearly a month of bad weather. Captured a variety of interesting objects over the evening, but I think this beautifully symmetrical planetary nebula was definitely in my top 2 or 3 objects for the evening.

Seeing was good, but transparency wasn't all that great. I kept the large star field because it was pretty and the planetary seemed to float like a soup bubble amongst the stars.
