Description:
This tiny planetary nebula is located at a declination of +82º and it's easy to 
find from Epsilon UMi, wich is at the same declination. The bright double star 32 
Cam is only 1º from the nebula. I can see IC 3568 at 50x and higher powers, with 
an stellar appearance. The UHC filter makes the nebula the brightest object in the
field. With 167x I can see a very small disk, best seen when compared to well 
focused stars.
