I emailed Doug Sydner who maintains a great website for Planetary nebs asking about the object in the image above and this is what he replied:

Hi Narayan,
From your image and other information, I believe that planetary is
PK305+1.1
(other designations are PNG 305.1+01.4, He2-90 and ESO 132-1). It is in
Centaurus, east and south of the "Jewel Box' cluster. It is about 10
arc-seconds in size and has a photographic magnitude of 13.7. The
coordinates are 13h 09.6m, -61d 20m. It is listed in the
blackskies.com
database under He2-90 (Henize). I hope this helps!

I had -as it turns out incorrectly -identified the object as PN 303+1.1
just to set the record straight and in case anyone else wants to hunt this object down!
