Sh2-68 is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Serpens. It is an ancient planetary nebula estimated to be at least 45,000 years old. The diffuse orange-red emission at upper right is the result of the planetary nebula moving through our galaxy's disc. The bluish interior comes from energized oxygen atoms. The progenitor star is the very blue star at the center of the bluish gas.
