Object(s): PNG 232.4-1.8, M1-13, Minkowski 1-13
Category: Planetary nebula.
Class: 
Constellation: CMa
Data: mag 12,6  size 36" ?
Position: RA 07h:21m 15s  DEC 18°:08' 37"
Description:
Pos: 07 21 15 / -18 08 37. Fairly bright PN that responds well to the OIII 
filter. At 342x it appears as a small, round ~10" disk that is brighter towards 
the inner part. The edge is quite clearly defined, though not sharp. The NW 
part of the tiny disk seems to be slightly brighter. I could not see any sign 
of a fainter outer shell, so the diameter of the object given in Uranometria 
does not correspond with my observations. The program Guide 6 gives 10" as the 
figure for the diameter of M1-13. The planetary is located less than 1' N of an 
11mag star. Easy object that was not so easy to find with low magnification (131x).
