[2] It is positioned about 38° above the galactic plane at a vertical distance of about 3.3 kilolight-years (1 kpc) and thus has little extinction from intervening interstellar dust.

John L. E. Dreyer described it as, "a planetary nebula, very bright, very small, round, disc and border".

[5] It consists of two parts; a bright inner region filled with arches and filaments spanning 13″ × 16", and a larger and fainter outer volume that has a pair of "tubular" structures.

It has an estimated temperature of 65,000 K. The abundances of the nebula suggest a low initial mass for the central star, probably ~0.9 M☉.

There appears to be a collaminated jet feature to the northwest, suggesting the central star is ejecting material along two and possibly four such directions.
