Description:
A very small but very bright planetary nebula, a short
star-hop from the North America Nebula. It is a great
demonstrator of the "flicking" technique of rapidly flicking
the UHC filter between the eye and the eyepiece. It seems to
have 2 lobes in a N/S direction, but it's hard to tell if
it's a single bright lobe to one side of a "central" star.
There is no discernable color to it from what I could see,
though others have reported a greenish cast in larger scopes.
