Description

Small but bright and pretty, IC 4663 is even more interesting than it seems at first glance. A quick search instantly directs one to various papers <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1203.3303" rel="nofollow">pointing out</a> that the central star for this planetary nebula is, in fact, a Wolf-Rayet star.

Note that data is discreetly missing from the corners.
