Now I remember why it was forgotten. (data acquired over a year ago - what else to do on crap-tacular winter nights looking after the kids)
Totally forgettable image of a MINISCULE PN, especially with an 85mm scope (yeah, i know about the corners of the image, but I don't own the scope anymore anyway)
I think I need more aperture and FL to nab this one even slightly. Ah well...

Good luck finding it at full res :lol:
Here's the Wiki spiel: "NGC 5315 is a planetary nebula in the constellation Circinus. Of apparent magnitude 9.8 around a central star of magnitude 14.2, it is located 5.2 degrees west-southwest of Alpha Circini. It is only visible as a disc at magnifications over 200-fold.[2] It was discovered by astronomer Ralph Copeland in 1883."
