Abstract

The object (α1950 = 18h04m.3; δ1950 = −8o56!4) was discovered in a 103a-E+RG 1 objective prism plate taken with the 92/67-cm Schmidt telescope of the Astrophysical Observatory of Asiago (Italy). It presents only the Hα emission and no stellar continuum; following Kohoutek (1965, 1969, 1972) it is a bona fide planetary nebula. This classification is confirmed by the appearance of the object in the red and infrared plates of the Near Infrared Photographic Survey of the galactic plane (Sabbadin, 1986): it is quite bright in the red plate and almost invisible in the infrared one.
