Description:
This planetary was located using Sky atlas 2000, it tooked me about 5
minutes to find it. It is of moderate brightness in my telescope,
noticeable at 78X, and clearly visible at 110X. It was pretty low, at
about 15 degrees, but becouse it has a high surface brightness, it was
easy to locate. I did not saw any bright star near it, or the central
star, but i noticed the ring structure.I didn't observed the outer
halo, maybe becouse i didn't knowed about it. It is clearly in range
of a good 3.5" telescope under good skies.
