Class: 
Constellation: Oph
Data: mag 11.4  size 38"
Position: RA 17:29  DEC -23:46
Description:
Planetary nebula near Theta Oph, and sharing low power field with the bright 51 
Oph. Very difficult to see at low powers, the UHC filter helps to confirm its 
presence. At 167x I can only see a small fuzzy patch, round in shape and very dim.
  
The nebula is located on a surprisingly poor star field.
