Category: Planetary nebula
Class: Irregular shape
Constellation: Gem
Data: mag 13 size
Position: RA 7:25 DEC +29:29
Description:
This planetary is quite small and dim. It was visible in my brothers
8" SCT at 80X as well. The irregular shape was visible. More
magnification would probably help bring out the details because of the
small size of the object. Easier to find because of proximity to
"major" stars of Gemini.
