Description:
117X-NGC2346 a PNe appears as a tiny weak colorless gray spot that blinks
strongly with the O-III filter indicating the Planetary Nebula nature.
635X- The PNe with the O-III filter now shows some very dim diffuse detail. It looks square or maybe rectangular and I cant see any evidence of a central star with or without the O-III filter. However without the filter, a dim twinkle does appear in the N-W edge of the object being one of three dim stars in a row.
