Spirograph Nebula.

We had our observing night last Saturday, which was beautiful and clear, alas the air was LADEN with moisture, but still a fun night with lots seen.

Dave (Strawb on IIS) was looking for the Spirograph Nebula at one stage, and i had never neard of it. Seems it is a PN (IC 418) mag 9.8, in the constellation of Lepus.

Looks pretty stunning in images.
