Description:
220X-NGC4900 is fairly dim round splotchy object. If any core, it is poorly
developed and not apparent. The impression is that it is very simular to M57,
but not the blue-green color of a PNe. There is dim star in the SE edge of the
galaxy and to the NW is an asterism of 5 stars resembling an up-side-down chair.
