Nomenclature

[edit]

While I see popular sources have used Abell 39 to refer to this planetary nebula, entering this designation into SIMBAD results in an entry for a cluster of galaxies. I think the overlap between the two designations should be mentioned in the article. Icalanise (talk) 17:02, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. For SIMBAD you can use "PN A66 39" (Planetary Nebula from Abell's 1966 list number 39.) WilliamKF (talk) 03:24, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

anonymous distance update

[edit]

The anonymous distance update, apparently from Gaia data, failed to change the citation. Also the distance above the galactic plane is now inconsistent with the updated distance. Chi And H (talk) 14:21, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
