Easy seeing with direct vision, averted vision expands it a bit more. No filters helped. This object has a dark narrow gap with lobes, or wings extending to the NNE and SSW directions. The NNE lobe is much brighter, extends further out, and seemed to be more pointed at the far end. A faint star is just to the WSW of this planetary. Actually a very pretty planetary nebula!" -------------------- Scott Kranz 20-inch f/4.3 Starmaster w/Zambuto mirror, Feathertouch focuser, GO TO & tracking 7-inch Starmaster H-alpha Coronado PST Denkmeier II binoviewers w/24mm Panoptics 16x80 binos Astronomical Society of Kansas City Astronomical League Messier, Meteor, Sunspotter, & Asteroid Observing Programs Coordinator ASKC Dark Sky Site Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Egg Nebula lymorkiew45 07/27/08 08:31 PM Re: Egg Nebula MessierScott   07/29/08 11:19 AM Re: Egg Nebula Darren Drake   07/29/08 01:43 PM Re: Egg Nebula MessierScott   07/29/08 03:24 PM Re: Egg Nebula BillFerris   07/28/08 12:59 AM Re: Easter Egg Nebula sgottlieb   07/27/08 10:38 PM Re: Easter Egg Nebula reiner   08/01/08 02:23 PM Re: Easter Egg Nebula sgottlieb   08/02/08 10:11 PM Re: Easter Egg Nebula reiner   08/04/08 08:12 AM Extra information 1 registered and 3 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
