A PN I bet you have never seen

And probably still can't!

Conditions cleared last night here, but the sky - especially LP - was a strong "Meh", but decided I had to image anyway. I have a list of "just to say I've imaged it" targets, and a couple are around Crux, so went with NGC 5315 PN in Circinus.

I knew it was SMALL. I didn't think it was THAT small

This is the HST version of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NGC_5315HSTfull.jpg

This is my version (3hrs of 10 min subs)>

Don't blink, you'll miss it! I am not going to revisit it. I'll leave that to people who image at f/15 I think I need more aperture and resolution...you know, kind of like Hubble or La Silla....
