Description

This object, also known as G79.6+5.8 and PK79+5.1, is a rarely imaged tiny planetary nebula located in the constellation of Cygnus at a declination of +44 degrees. The nebula spans 1 arc-minute in our apparent view and is part of the Minkowski PN Collection.

I could not find anything written on this object, nor could I see a central star for this PN. There is some breakout occurring at the 2 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions, likely caused by bi-polar outflow in those directions.
