Category: planetary nebula
Constellation: CYG
Object data: Vmag=3D13.2; dim.39"x27" (60"x41" according to IDB); central

Description: at 145x, small to medium sized PN, very faint; homogeneous and
better seen with OIII filter; somewhat elongated NE-SW, estimated on

of mag13 are "covering" the PN at about 30" to N, NW and W; a mag9 star is
at 6'S. This nebula is surrounded with faint stars.
I can provide a scanned drawing of M 1-79 to anyone who can read the binhex
encoding of Eudora (for Mac); just mail me to try
(ypothier@abi.snv.jussieu.fr), it works sometimes with other
configurations...
