Wow, so thats what that red bit of nebulosity is, I thought it might have just been a bit of outlying nebulosity from NGC 2438. I didn't realize it is a separate object and a protoplanetary! Thanks for letting me know. Here is a stretched close up, the Calabash Nebula is near top of image.

Im amazed I picked it up in 80 minutes from light polluted Newcastle with my setup, though no chance of getting those outer faint rings around 2438 so well shown in your deep image Mike.
