Description:
A huge planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula. The UHC filter enhances the contrasts somewhat, but it is a wonderful sight even without it. The shiny central part resembles the core of an apple to me and has a direction of N-S. Its far from being homogeneous: in its Southern half a brighter area can be observed. On the Western and Eastern sides of this core are two fainter areas that complement it to a whole "apple". The Western one of these looks much brighter.
