Hi all,
Those who are also on the DeepSkyHunters Yahoo group may have read about this one already. For everyone else:
In February Californian astronomer Dana Patchick discovered a planetary nebula candidate on DSS images. It is in Vulpecula, carries the preliminary designation Pa J2029.1+2311 and is nicknamed "Little Blue Fox".
I pieced together an observation guide available at http://www.clearskies.eu/webfiles/temp/PaJ2029.1+2311.pdf
With the summer constellations rapidly approaching and the object being in need of observations you may want to give it a try!
Cheers,
Victor
