Description:
Low surface brightness planetary in Hya.
As the Cowboys around here say, "I was fixin to observe Abell 35
but all I saw was nut'n." Alas, this one's still on my most wanted
list. This planetary shows a cool bow shock feature in photographs.
I'll either need to purchase an OIII or UHC filter or wait for the
"mother of all dark nights."
