Vasya, da, little light from it. DULL planetary nebula.

I am fascinated by planetaries. Not pretty like emmission, reflection, and diffuse nebulae, but the challenge and the science behind what is happening intrigues me with them.

There are a host of planetaries out there, some spectacular in terms of distinct singular colours and shape (like NGC 7009), others because of their age and how far the shell has expanded etc.
