Planetary Nebula NGC 5189 in Musca.
I got to say this is one of the best objects in our sky, it small and faint but in a large scope (12"+) it is awesome.
I did this at the last moment to see if I could get a half decent image of it , I am pleased with the way it turned out but plan on doing it again this weekend with a longer exposure and at F10, there are green's and red's in this object which I have just managed to slighty capture. the colour is there but very faint in this image
If you have a 8" or larger scope do yourselve a favour and track this one down it's worth it.
It can be seen in a 6" from a dark sky site
so if you only have a smaller scope give it a try next time your out .

cheers
