About this image

Very bright and easy. Elongation immediately visible. The ends of the nebula appear 'twisted' away from the central axis, in opposite directions. The northern end appeared almost pointed. There is an inclusion clearly visible in the SE of the nebula. A fair amount of detail was glimpsed, but not well enough to be drawn.
