In the part of the Milky Way that runs through Aquila os NDC-6781, a large, dim, circular planetary. In a rich region, one side is brighter than the other, causing it to be shaped rather like a ghostly crescent moon with an earthlit dark side. Very subtle and beautiful -- save this one for the best of nights.
