All I can say about this is.... yet another greenish planetary nebula. The only thing was that I felt happy for seeing a deep-sky object in Eridanus.

After a fruitless attempt to star hop to this bright planetary by working my way south, I switched to an eastbound approach, and found it fairly quickly. As I've noticed in the past with other planetaries, it wasn't seeing it that was the challenge, but detecting its non-stellar nature at the low power I use for star-hopping. Also making things tough was that it is in a fairly star-poor region of the sky, at least for the Tirion atlas I need to use south of Dec. -6 (the limit of the single Uranometria volume I own). Anyway, once I found it it was easy at higher power: a big, fuzzy ball.
