Data: mag 12,3 magv  size 16"
Position: RA 00:28.15  DEC +55:57.54
Description:
131x magnification shows a stellar object with steel-grey color. An increase to 
342x resolves the PN into a tiny bright disk of approx 6" diameter. The edge of 
the round disk seems fading away. Otherwise the disk is of uniform brightness 
towards the center. Three 12 - 13mag stars are located in a row just ~2' E of 
the planetary. No CS visible. Interestingly the object is much smaller visually 
than the size given in Uranometria.
