Description

This is the first planetary you meet moving east toward the galaxy's riches, in the otherwise plain Serpens Cauda. Well, except for M16, of course. This PN would really love higher resolution, being bright and compact (and quite young too!), as it shown but its relative abundance of H-beta and hence the overall colour. Too bad it is quite small (around 13" across). Another subject for very high resolution imaging for those further down south with the right kit.
