Hi Guys,

One of the ugliest planetary nebula i have ever seen haha but gave it a go at it anyway. Looks like a brain.

Hi Eric,

If that is the one I think it is in Sculptor, can remember looking for it years ago with 8" Newtonian and had no success.

Good one Eric.

I checked back thru my log and found I observed this object with my old Meade 200mm starfinder Dob in nov 1995

It is located in Cetus and it looked like a Nebula shroulded open cluster. It was also relatively bright from memory. Thanx for that Eric
