Yeah, i can see that on Cartes du Ciel, which is the sky map program running here. I updated the PN data base and have two in that location(very close) but when I've aligned the map with the image it's further away from HR6668 (my bright reference), and 'below' PK 356-4.1 by quite a bit. Below is info for the logged PN PK356-4.1, and i got my RA/DEC off google sky which i could align with my image. Still i'm lost.
