The inner ring of NGC 7009 spans just 25 arc sec of sky and the overall dimensions are about
45" X 35" making it a challenging object to image. About a third of a light year across and some
3000 light years away, NGC 7009 is a tiny planetary nebula in Aquarius more affectionately know
as The Saturn Nebula, due to its similar size and resemblance to the planet Saturn.
