NGC 6818 Little Gem

[Lester]

Hi all, got this one last night in windy conditions so tracking wasn't the best. This planetary is bright and short exposures reveal internal structure that is unique to it. This planetary is very close to Barnard's galaxy. It is magitude 9.3 and 0.8' in size.

Should be called the "smiley face" neb:):)

That's what I could see there:P

Nice shot.

That is quite interesting! Initially my eyes saw a "Z" in the centre.

"unique" internal structure it certainly is. Nice capture.

Cheers,
