IRAS 19475+3119 is a protoplanetary nebula in the constellation of Cygnus, 15,000 light-years away. An observation with the Hubble Space Telescope revealed a quadrupolar structure.[1]

The central star was originally 2.5 solar masses,[1] and is now 0.63 solar masses. The object is 8,300 times the luminosity of the sun and 4.9 kpc from the sun; its diameter is estimated to be 58 times that of the sun[2]
