I also happened to observe NGC 2867 only one night after you in exceptional seeing, it reveals annularity at extreme magnifications along with what appears to be a faint knot within the ring.
Thanks Sab. I did wonder about 2867 as I thought there may have been the faintest darkening in the centre, but couldn't be sure. I'll have another go. However, your skill with PNs is pretty impressive.

Been a couple of years since I had looked at NGC 2808, must have another look soon. NGC 3114 is one that has escaped me so far sounds nice.

Thanks Malcolm. I do recommend 3114.
