Hi all
Just a few more interesting planetaries in the skies that you can look at at this time of year.
The Bug NGC6302 a fantastic bipolar planetary and it is VERY bright.
The Diamond Ring NGC6337 a good smoke ring with a star on its edge.
The Blue Planetary NGC3918 lives up to it's name. go for it early
IC5148 in Grus. it is another good smoke ring.
Though this is not a planetary it is a great view none the less and has been mistaken for a planetary in the past. Look for NGC6164/6164 in Norma. It is an ejection shell from a Wolf-Rayet star.
Enjoy your observing
Andrew
