Description

A couple of nights of great seeing from my backyard has inspired me to focus on little planetary nebula in Cygnus. This one is quite unusual as it does not exhibit the typical ring or disk of so many planetaries. The image required minimal sharpening for display so in version B, I included a 200% scale inset to show some of the finer details more easily.

Its about 1 light year across at roughly 6300 light years from us. From our viewpoint, its dimensions are 25 by 40 arc seconds.
