Description:
Viewed this through my friend's scope and decided that this was the
best object of the star party.
Under lower power this beautiful object was a large, fuzzy object in
the field, with a unique aquamarine blue color that is beyond
description.
Under pumped-up power, this nebula resolved into a ring-like structure
similar to M57, and did not lose any of it's bright blue color.
