Perfect symmetry in Nature – absolutely amazing!!

I have wanted to image this object since seeing it in a picture years ago.  I didn’t bother because I thought it would be far too small in the Hyperstar III field of view to be of any interest.  As it turns out – it’s quite a bit bigger than I was expecting.  This is planetary nebula Abell 39 in the constellation Hercules – a perfectly spherical blue ball.
