Thanks Glen,
I have attached a colour-corrected image of this PNe…
Sadly the nebula is no good for [O-III] because of its old age (nebula-wise). The problem with observing it is the nearby 8th magnitude star in the field just swamps the faint nebulosity. So far I've heard of no one observing it with an occultation bar, which might help.
It also has a strange box-like appearance and a 'Z-shape', which is unusual.
