Ngc3699

This is a not often imaged planetary nebula lying on the border between Centaurus and Crux.

To my surprise I found two other planetary nebula in the field which I could not find catalogue numbers for in SkyX. I'll let you go find them.

Re the main attraction; you might be able to see several outer shells that I managed to capture which are clearly evident in the Chart 32 image of this object. Certainly great exposure might define them better but I suspect it would be double or more of the current exposure to define them better.
