Description

This Astrobin Debut Object is a planetary nebula located in the constellation of Sagitta at a declination of +20 degrees.  The nebula, also known as PK058-05.1, spans 3 arc-minutes in our apparent view.  

I could find no distance information for this obscure object.  If it is the typical PNe diameter of 2 light years, then it is 3000 light years away.

The signal is fairly balanced here between OIII and HII, with slightly more signal in some parts of the rim region.  To my eye, this nebula has a cylindrical shape for which we have an apparent end-on view, but it is really tough to tell if this is the case.
