Abstract

He 2–119 is a bright, elliptical, planetary nebula of relatively large size (117 arcsec along the major axis and 74 arcsec along the minor one). Digital, unsharp masking CCD imaging of this object is presented, revealing a filamentary, nearly bipolar inner structure. In addition, the discovery of an extended, faint halo in this object is reported. The halo has a diameter of 208 arcsec and has a nearly circular form. He 2–119 thus becomes a new member of the group of planetary nebulae with halos. Its general characteristics are discussed.
