It's only young by the looks of it. You can barely see the central star even in a fairly large scope and in UV on the DSS images, there's a definite central energy source present. It's probably the PN central star, so it's radiating mostly in the high UV region. That's a surface temp of around 200000K....it's probably giving off bugger all visible light!!!!
