NGC 1360 = PK 220-53.1 = ESO 482-PN007 = PN G220.3-53.9 03 33 14.6 -25 52 18 V = 9.6; Size 460"x320" 17.5" (11/17/01): At 100x with OIII filter, this huge planetary appears a very large oval 3:2 or 4:3 SSW-NNE, ~6'x4.5' with a striking central star. Appears clearly brighter on the north side of the central star in a section defined by a triangular wedge with apex at the central star. The nebulosity dims a bit on the west side as well as the south. 17.5": very bright, elongated 3:2 SSW-NNE, 6'x4' diameter, very bright central star mag 10.5-11, almost even surface brightness. Very impressive planetary with or without OIII filter. | |||
