NGC 5307 planetary

Hi all, there is a very nice image of this in the Sky and Telescope may/june page 75. It has a very unusual structure, so had to have a go myself, with 14" LX200 at F6.3 and Astro 40D at ISO 800. This image is 18 x 2 minute exposures.

It is magnitude 11.2, with a diameter of 0.3' in the constellation of Centaurus.
