Almost confused it for a double star as itt's very close to a star. I used the nebula filter to verify that it is a planetary nebula. It was quite unmistakable as it appeared slightly oval and irregular to my eyes.

This was truly my best view of the Eskimo Nebula. At 310x, it showed its trueform. What a beautiful aqua color!! Inside the outer halo was a brightring that was a pear shaped that was wide at the bottom and narrowed towards the top. Inside the bright oval ring was a darker area, but still brighter than the outer halo. Right in the center was the bright central star. There was some brighening in the lower portion of the inner ring that could have been construed as a smile. The central nose....oops star,looked like a big clown nose. With a little imagination, it looked like a clownface.
