Description:
At 342x the nebula appears annular (extends N-S) with a size of approx 
1,2x0.8'.  The N edge of NGC 7008 is much brighter and I could see a bright 
spot at the N end of planetary. The ring looks incomplete (open to S end) and 
broken up into brighter and fainter patches of nebulosity. The center of the 
nebula appears dark. 2 fairly bright stars are embedded in the nebula, one of 
which is the 13,2mag central star. A nice yellow / blue double star is located 
at the open S-end of 7008.
