Planetary Nebulae
This is the fourth of five posts on easy deep sky objects. All of these objects are south of declination +40 so they are visible from all of Australia including Tasmania.
These planetary nebulae (PN) are not easy to find but are easy to see once you locate them. I think the best PN are:
NGC 1360*, NGC 1535, NGC 2392, NGC 2440, NGC 3132, NGC 3242, NGC 3918*, NGC 5189, IC 4406, NGC 6302, M 57, NGC 6818*
M 27, NGC 7009, NGC 7293
The list above is in RA order.
* 1360 is large and faint, 3918 and 6818 are small and they need high power.
