A newly discovered planetary nebula in Sagittarius

Hi.
Astroron (Ron) sent me a pm with co ords of a newly discovered planetary nebula at the following location
19 37 43.77 -13 51 20, size is approx.
0.7'x0.45'

Earlier this evening I imaged it with my 10 inch f5.6 newtonian and modded 350D camera. UHCS and UV IR filters, MPCC coma corrector

Seeing quite good, scope was tracking quite well too. Off axis hand guided as usual. Moonlit skies

This is my first image of a "new" planetary nebula Possibly the first true colour image of this object ever taken?
