Nomenclature

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

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]
