NGC 6884 is a planetary nebula[4] located in the constellation Cygnus, less than a degree to the southwest of the star Ο1 Cygni.

[6] This nebula consists of the cast-off outer atmosphere of an aging star.

[7] The nebula is point-symmetric with arcs forming an S-shaped inner core;[8] the shape is likely explained by bipolar outflows with a velocity of 55 km/s.

[7] The core is surrounded by a filamentary ring structure that is inclined at an angle of around 40–45° to the line of sight from the Earth.

The core has an overall shape of a prolate ellipsoid with axis ratios of 1.6:1 and is inclined by 40°.
