A very easy planetary nebula. It formed a sort of right angled triangle with two other sides with itself being the 'star' opposite to the hypotenuse. A greenish-blue disc, smaller than other planetaries. Dew and twilight did'nt allow further observations of the planetary.

An easy, bright, tiny planetary. Easy to locate (I nearly found it in the first shot). The field shows three widely spaced bright stars, a faint star and a comparatively brighter "star" (NGC 6210) visible only thru averted vision at 80x magnification. However at abt. 100x, it becomes more clear that tbe "star" is not a star and its bluish colour is cognizable. The blue colour is not so intense - definitely not like NGC 3242 or NGC 7009. Very faint blue colour was apparent. Best view on my scope was at 170x (an eyepiece of 9 mm focal length gives me this), where it shows an elliptical disc of small eccentricity (and probably a few filaments???). No more detail could be extracted.

This planetary was a bit hard to spot at first. But after about 30 seconds of viewing I became confident that it was there. I used an ORION "broadband" nebula filter.

It required careful starhopping in a star-poor region (I really need a Uranometria atlas!). Once I was there, though, it was easy to see this planetary at 49x, though it was hard to be sure that it was nonstellar. At 244x, though, it was clearly a small, round, uniform patch. I believed I could detect a slight greenish tint.
