2 Planetaries for the price of 1

[tornado33]

Hi
No its NOT Galaxy NGC 5128 with a blue filter (though it does look like 5128 with its dark lane across it only blue, but it is in fact planetary nebula NGC 3699 in Centarus. However, there is a 2nd planetary nebula, He 2-67 (arrowed). Its much smaller, only 5 arc secs across and H beta mag 14.9, whereas NGC 3699 is mag 11 and 71 secs across.

Many thanks hehehehe :)
I do admit there are a lot of interesting planetaries there, Im not methodically getting every one listed but anything above about 10 arc seconds that shows up other than a star on the deep sky survey images is worth my imaging :2thumbs:
