Description:
The Diamond Ring planetary.
At 122x the view of this planetary is very nice. It
appears almost perfectly circular and has a discernable
central darkening. The thing that makes this nebula
stand out is a 14th mag star on its western edge giving
it the appearance of a ring with a diamond set in it.
A must for all planetary nebulae enthusiasts like me.
