Dumbbell? Apple core?

Neither really does it for me, but this is an amazing object. Another planetary nebula, and one with so much to see. It looks small, but in fact it’s huge, dwarfing our entire solar system to the point where I don’t think you’d be able to see it at all on this scale.

This image really needs a lot more exposure time, but for that I really need guiding.
