Description:
NGC 6853 M27 PN Sagitta Mag 8.1 Only looked for a minute or two, but
it was worth it. Low in the sky so without a filter I actually saw just the
dumbbell shape dominantly. When it is higher, in a 10 is ALWAYS football
shaped. Dropped in the UHC filter and the dumbbell sharpened flanked by its
wings on either side. O-III had better contrast, but a bit fainter.
