NGC 6629 --Planetary Nebula in Sagittarius
NGC 6629 -- A Tiny Planetary Nebula
At only 15 arcseconds in size, NGC 6629 appears stellar in low and medium power in my
110mm refractor. Even with an increase in power, its round condensed disk showed no
detail nor was I able to find the Central Star that shines at 12.9 magnitude. I may have been
picking up a slight green-sheen to the nebula, but not well enough to know if it was real or
wishful thinking. A Planetary Nebula made for larger aperture telescopes at higher
magnifications.
