An exceptional PN: NGC 6572

Hi all!
Just thought I'd share an object that really surprised me tonight: NGC 6572 in Ophiuchus. I had not observed it before (that I can recall), but it was a stunner. Very bright and very "planet" like - a classic "planetary nebula".
Its nice when a little known (to me anyway!) object throws up a surprise.
