Discovered by Pease in 1917, this 13th magnitude bipolar object is 55 seconds from tip to tip, and displays the common multiple shell structures visible in many planetaries from earlier ejection events. Most color images available reveal a greenish nebula with a ruddy interior. Less than perfect seeing an moonlight were factors in this image.
