A Christmas night Planetary/Open Cluster

Hi everyone.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas day.
With lots of cloudy weather of late got an opportunity for some imaging on late Christmas night. Using the Argo Navis it came up with Planetary NGC 2452which happened to be next to open cluster NGC 2453.

2x10 mins ISO 400 ,UHCS and uv/ir filters, MPCC, 10 inch f5.6 newtonian, hand guided, modded 350D. Seeing rather poor, impossible to get sharp star images. SW change had come through. Some cloud patches about.
