IC2220 Toby Jug Nebula NB

We looked at this nebula from Leyburn (altitude 400m) last Saturday night using William's 25" f5 telescope and a 17mm (186x) eyepiece. The nebula is 1.7 degrees north of the brilliant OC NGC 2516 and surrounds the magnitude 7 orange star V341 in Carinae. The 6' x 4' nebula was Y shaped through the 25" scope and an orange colour was visible in the nebula. This image is similar to what we saw:
