Corona Australis, close up

Hi all
With excellent conditions last night and little wind I decided to set up the 10 inch and do over 2 hours on Corona Australis.

Image is 15x 10 min subs ISO 200, MPCC coma corrector, Modded 350D with clear glass over sensor. No filters used at all, allowing IR light in as well, I find this shows dark nebulae better with more of that brownish hue.

Offaxis hand guided with Q guider cam image on the laptop while I watched both NRL semi finals in a window , true multitasking All while our heavy 7 kg cat sat on my lap.

Full res. version here

There is a tiny faint red nebula I have shown in a full res. crop. Is that a planetary nebula? I remember reading somethign about it once.
