Radial velocities are determined by Fabry-Pérot interferometry at 131 points of the ring nebula S308. The velocities have yielded a kinematic distance of 1.5 kpc for the object, and an expansion velocity of 45–60 km s−1. The ring nebula has a diameter of 13 pc and the age is estimated to be about 1.5 to 2×105 years.
