Skull Planetary Nebula in Cetus 3500 ly away

The Skull Nebula is a relatively small object, located some 3500 ly away, described as about 4’ (seconds) in diameter as seen from earth. Truth is a longer focal length telescope would do a finer job of showing the details of the object. But, that would mean taking more of the drug astrophotography provides and buying more stuff!
