NGC 2899 (PK 277-3°l, He 2-30, RCW 43) is a southern planetary nebula of fairly large angular size (∼2!6 × 1!4) and moderate high surface brightness. Its morphology strongly resembles a loose bipolar structure with conspicuous bright condensations of toroidal geometry placed along the minor axis, on each side of the central object.
