IC2944 + Bonus Planetary Nebula

Hi fellow astronuts,
During last weeks' SPSP at Wiruna, I only managed to get 8x3 minute frames in Ha on this nebula on Saturday night when the low clouds rolled in. Anyway, I processed what I had and was surprised to find what appeared to be a PN near the upper right of the frame. A little digging around and I find it is He2-72. A 14.5 magnitude PN, 1 arc minute in diameter. A little shocked that a small refactor and only a total of 24 minutes integration has resolved this.

Anyway, I though I would share it in any case. Great little cam is the ASI1600mm Pro.
