M 1-30

Another teeny planetary nebula. Here, a slightly perturbed figure-eight and some faint concentric rings are visible. What are these shapes, really? For an idea, I would take a look at a closer planetary nebula which is a bit easier to see. The Etched Hourglass seems related.

 

Triangles of data are missing from the lower left and right corners.
