Category: Planetary nebula.
Class: 2
Constellation: Gem
Data: mag 13 magv  size 37" (?)
Position: RA: 06:37:21,  Dec: +24:00
Description:
At 342x this planetary looks slightly elongated. I estimated the size to
approx 10x15" which is much smaller than the given size in Uranometria. I
saw a round central part that is brightening towards the middle. This
fairly bright center is surrounded by a faint elongated (NW-SE) halo that
seems to fade away. Bluish color is obvious at 131x but the color is no
more visible at 342x. At 131x the nebula looks just non-stellar.
