PNG 043.1+37.7 NGC 6210
A relatively small planetary nebula with a blue to blue-green colour and a disk-like glow around the star.
Observation notes
The nebula was relatively small and appeared as a disk-like glow around the star. Its colour was perceived as blue to blue-green, and its appearance was somewhat reminiscent of Uranus. A bright star lay on one side of the nebula, and just below it three stars formed an almost equilateral triangle. The object lay in an otherwise relatively sparse star field.
