Viewing Info: | This is a bright but difficult to observe object. Use 700 o more magnification if you want see detail. I've observed this nebula with a 200 mm achromatic refractor at x923. It has a central disk with a very irregular structure, and a outer, fragmented disk. Both handles are visible at 200 or more magnification.
If you have patience, this is a incredible object.
