Description:
I observed this planetary with difficulty, becouse i was expecting a
much smaller disc. It is very extended, and without averted vision, it
was imposible to see. I didn't saw the central star, and becouse the
planetary was pretty low in the west, about 10 degrees, i didn't saw
much detail, except that it was a large ring, and faint. Maybe in
better conditions more detail it will be visible.
