PK 068+1.2 lies 10 arc minutes NW of a zig-zag asterism of stars, the
brightest of which is approximately Mag 7. An O3 filter was required to see
this faint, roughly triangular shaped wisp extending westward from what
appears to be a fairly bright background or foreground star.

This nebula appears as faint and compact circle requiring averted vision to
see. On the edge of a group of stars to the SW is a small right triangle of
two white and a dimmer blue star.

NGC 7008 is a bright, very interesting 3/4 ring with two prominent
background stars oriented SW-NE. With an 03 filter the two background stars
disappear and the nebula becomes three dimensional with varying shades of
intensity and width. A pretty double star is rougly 2 arc minutes south.

This planetary is an almost perfectly round uniform texture disc. With
averted vision there appeared to be a dark area in the center and two
superimposed stars on the northern end.

NGC 6884 is a tiny 6" spot of bluish-green light which needed an O3 filter
to distinguish it from nearby stars. Averted vision revealed a much larger
size than first observed and a small protrusion on the NE side, probably
PK82+7.1

This planetary nebula looks almost rectangular in shape and green in color
with an O3 filter. PK84+7.1 shows up nicely on the NE edge as a distinctly
blue dot. The apparent color difference between the two is quite interesting
to observe.

Along with being was challenging to locate, this low surface brightness
planetary was difficult to see even with averted vision. It couldn't be seen
without an O3 filter. It appears to be slightly oblong although it's a tough
call. A line of mg 11 stars to the NE was helpful in locating the object.
