Small PN near Lambda Cent

This is a smallish planetary nebula just to the side of the Running Chicken, does anyone know what it is called? The only reference I've been able to find is in TheSkyX where it is classified as "PLN 294- 0.1".

It is about 72 arcsec in diameter and while there is quite a substantial amount of Ha in the background surrounding it, I haven't stretched the image very hard.
I have lost some of the teal colour in the centre in the way that I've blended the Ha into it, something I do need to work on.

The second image is just a RGB shot.
