Messier 27 is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of approximately 1360 lighyears from earth. It has a brightness of visual magnitude 7.5 and is about 8 arc-minutes in diameter.
This is a very popular, classic object to observe. I find the striking colours and knots of gas to be interesting to observe.
