Discovery of a new planetary nebula Bresseler 6 (Br 6) PNG 088.2-00.8

Bresseler 6, Br 6 or PNG 088.2-00.8, is a new small planetary nebula in the constellation Cygnus. The PN is located at the position: 21:08:31.30 46:28:49.70. Its brightness is about 15.0 mag visually, so the PN is visible only in telescopes about 14" or larger in conjunction with an [OIII] filter, Br 6 can also be achieved photographically with smaller apertures. Br 6 has a size of about 10 arc seconds.
