NGC346 improved version and an unexpected planetary nebula

Hi to all

Sorry to post a reprocess so soon but I thought this was rather better than the original. I also noticed a blue dot just to the right of the main nebula which I thought looked like a planetary nebula. My planetary nebula authority in the UK says that is indeed the case and it is a SMC planetary nebula. The designation is LHA 115-N 70. He also said the cataloged diameter is .38"! I find it rather surprising to have picked up something this small but it seems to be real.

I've included a 200% crop showing the planetary.

Cheers

Steve
