Description:
If my references didn't tell me differently, I would bet my life that
this dso was a planetary!! 'Central star' (along with one other star)
are within the nebula. It also has structure indicative to a planetary
when the O-III is employed. The object is basically a round, uniform
haze. Within the nebula there is a backwards "S" pattern which closely
resembles a dumbell shap.e In fact, this object does remind me of M27
in ways. Great object!
