Vy 2-3 is pretty round but not perfectly round. The Lemon Slice remains the reigning champion of roundness. "Vy" is a new name to me so I had to look it up. This seems to be another case of, "Wait, this isn't just a star.

Description
English: Vy 2-3 is pretty round but not perfectly round. The Lemon Slice remains the reigning champion of roundness. "Vy" is a new name to me so I had to look it up. This seems to be another case of, "Wait, this isn't just a star. The emission lines are weird." So the Vy is for Vyssotsky, who discovered it while surveying stars.
