Wray 16-122, also known as PNG 304.2 +5.9, is a moderately small planetary nebula in eastern Centaurus, close to the border with Crux Australis. It has a rather low surface brightness, and that combined with the very rich star field can make visual observation difficult. It was faintly visible in a 17.5" telescope.
