Results are most complete for NGC 185–1, where the electron temperature is 17,900±1600°K. Compared to typical galactic planetary nebulae the abundance ratio in NGC 185–1 of helium/hydrogen (0.24±0.08) is approximately twice that normally found, the abundance ratio of oxygen/hydrogen (7.7±1.3)10−5 is approximately one-tenth that normally found, and the ratio of nitrogen/hydrogen (1.4 × 10−4, poorly known) is approximately equal to that normally found.
