Planetary nebula with no star?

[Jon flint]

Done a fair bit of exploration and never seen this before, but today I stumbled across a small planetary nebula without any astronomical bodies in it, at least none we can navigate to.

Is this unusual?

*edit* Even more odd that it's a real nebula that should have a white dwarf at its heart. Bug perhaps?

Planetary Nebula from what I gather all have one in, I've visited over 70 on this trip alone. All seem to have neutrons or black holes with the exception of a few round the bubble with A/O class stars and a few other odd ones.

Got a screenie with the system name blanked out...

You can have the name, to be honest I forgot to include it in the original post!

It's the "Red Spider Nebula". I've not gone back to check if it wasn't just a galaxy map bug.. so I may be wrong

OOh you are right, yes I totally forgot there are some unreachable ones. Cat's Eye Nebula is one I desperately want to go see.
