Eric, very nice detail there. This is one of my fav objects. I could be wrong but i think the call it so because its apparent size is similar to Jupiter. There is also one i think called the Ghost of Saturn. You are providing valuable information to me on future targets.

Do you mean 60s, not 60mins?

Beautiful image, Eric. A very nice planetary.
