On this page I collect my observations of the planetary nebula NGC 2392, called Eskimo Nebula, in the constellation Gemini/Twins.
The planetary nebula NGC 2392, called Eskimo Nebula, in the constellation Gemini/Twins is the brightest planetary nebula in the winter sky. But it is a very small nebula, so that one has to use a relatively high magnification (50 x, better 100 x, according to Stoyan) in order to recognize something. In any case, I had a great deal of effort to recognize anything at all ... In a large telescope its sight reminds of an Eskimo, in the eVscope you only see a small spot. In the Vespera, the spot is even smaller...
Size: 0.8' (Stoyan)
Distance: 2,500 light years (Stoyan)
Ranking: *** (Stoyan)
