The "Dumbbell Nebula" - one of the brightest planetary nebula, is easily
visible in a finder scope or binoculars. Magnitude 7.3, measuring 480 X 240 arc seconds in size.
Resembles an apple core, with a UHC or OIII filter faint outer "ears" should be visible. Look for the
12th magnitude central star. (Vul)
