NGC 7009 (Saturn Nebula) is a spectacular planetary in Aquarius. At 50x is easily detectable from a star, but I didn't managed to see its characteristic, elongated shape. You can't miss it, it's the brightest object in a one-degree area. Using 120x I've managed to see its elongated shape, but no other details.

This night I was searching for M72 and M73 in western Aquarius. After finding M72 I started starhopping to M73. In first step I made big mistaked (stupid me). When I looked in eyepiece I saw bright fuzzy star. I told myself "There is M73." After pumping magnification I realised that this is not M73. After cheking location in Redshift Planetarium I realised that "M73" was Saturn Nebula.Saturn Nebula appeard small, very bright and elliptical.

This planetary is apparently very small, however, bright and conspicuous. Best viewed at high magnification. 170x magnification showed a slightly elliptical shape and Bluish colour (Aquamarine to be precise).Very easy to locate due to nearby Nu-Aquarii Star
