Lemon Slice Nebula

 
Located in the circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis, IC 3568 is a fairly simple planetary nebula with a tasty name: the Lemon Slice Nebula.

Why is it it called that?

Because it looks like a giant lemon slice floating in the sky, thanks to its uniform spread. The morpohlogy is nearly perfectly sphereical, with a hot super giant in the centre expelling mass, thus creating the lemon slice and what I call 'freshly squeezed juice drops' in a halo around it.

It is a young nebula with only a diameter of .4 light-years, although it dwells about 4500 light years away.

It is about 7.5 degrees away from the North Star currently known as Polaris, and can be seen with a telescope as a faint yellow orb.
