Not sure, Joe. I know that the Crab Nebula remnant is a pulsar, or spinning neutron star- which is what happens to stars more massive than white dwarves. But I suppose many planetary nebula central stars could be white dwarves- do you know of any that are easily observed visually with an amateur telescope?

Hey Chuck, what about a star in the middle of a planetary? Would that be a white dwarf? Thanks, Joe
