Description: My favorite object in Puppis. I found this by accident in 2005 when I was just scanning southern sky in Gran Canary. This tells much about object's brightness. The main nebula is nearly round and carries a 9 mag stars in the middle. There are some fainter structures and some other stars visible in the nebula. A nice arc of cosmic haze lies on the eastside, it has a small group of 11 mag stars on the southern end. Also some other faint patches can be seen with averted vision.
