NGC 3195 (also known as Caldwell 109) is a planetary nebula located in the southern constellation of Chamaeleon. Discovered by Sir John Herschel in 1835,[3] this 11.6 apparent magnitude[3] planetary nebula is slightly oval in shape, with dimensions of 40×35 arc seconds, and can be seen visually in telescopic apertures of 10.5 centimetres (4.1 in) at low magnifications.[5]
Spectroscopy reveals that NGC 3195 is approaching Earth at 17 kilometres per second (11 mi/s), while the nebulosity is expanding at around 40 kilometres per second (25 mi/s). The central star is listed as >15.3V or 16.1B magnitude. An analysis of Gaia data suggests that the central star is a binary system.[6] Distance is estimated at 1.7 kpc.
