Its nice when a little known (to me anyway!) object throws up a surprise.  |
Hi Grant,
Did you happen to stumble on this one whilst working through my 600 target observing list ?
It has been one of my favourites for many years, hence it's inclusion in the list, but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to get much recognition elsewhere. In my opinion it is clearly a nicer planetary than several which made Mr Moore's Caldwell List
Cheers,
