Description

NGC6886 (how I like palindromic numbers) is another tiny PN hidden away in Sagitta and therefore right in the heart of norther Milky Way. Despite its smallness it shows to the keen-eyed observer interesting details. Its ansae make it saturnian in outline (but not in body) and in fact this one should have more right that the Saturn Nebula moniker than NGC7009. Except size and size matters in the world of PNs.
