Ngc 3699

Hi all, got this planetary tonight amongst cloud and windy conditions that tested out the auto guiding. This is 7 x 5 minute exposures, at iso 800 with Astro 40D and 14" LX200 at F6.3 .

This object is magnitude 11.3, and 0.8' diameter, in the constellation of Centaurus. I would like to try this planetary again with longer exposures to help bring out the fainter outer regions.
