NGC 2452

This object was recently featured as picture of the week at spacetelescope.org. You should check it out if you haven't already. To me it looks like an asymmetrical blob but there are some vaguely symmetrical properties to it. The two brightest outer sections of the cloud and the three dark holes flanking either side of the central star are the easiest to spot.
