Observe this planetary nebula upon seeing the observation of another friend with 14'' scope, so I decided to see this object. It is small, moderately bright at 145x. Little detail with this enlargement, it is necessary to increase the power, with 235x it only showed some shiny lobes with avoided vision, but no detail I can see. Only with more power 400x I can see these bright lobes with direct vision. Then with vision avoided I can see appendages that are born from each bright lobe. The shape is more than curious, it is S-shaped, but this detail is only visible with avoided vision. But it really strikes me, I've never seen a planetary nebula with this peculiar shape.

No trace of the central star of magnitude 17.
Have you seen this too? I would like to hear your experience with different scope.
