NGC 7027 is another planetary nebula gas cloud, slightly dimmer in overall light output (magnitude 9) than NGC 6828 but smaller (18 x 11 arc seconds) which helps concentrate the light. In a moderate telescope under dark skies, look for the distinctive blue-green color of ionized oxygen, typical of this type of nebula.
