An often overlooked planetary nebula is IC 5148/50 in Grus. This area is mostly known for galaxies but this PN is a classical 'smoke ring', similar to the Ring Nebula but fainter; so it is a little more challenging and a good dark sky is a must. It's well worth the effort.

In fact, I'd really like to see an amateur image of it (I'm not an imager myself).
