Another obscure planetary nebula

It's been a while since I posted an image so I thought I would kick things off again with another obscure planetary nebula. This one is in Centaurus and the catalogue designation is VBRC 5. It's also known as the hammer nebula for obvious reasons. Certainly a very strange shape for a planetary.

Cheers

Steve
