2 more Planetaries for the price of one

Another clear night, and another opportunity to get 2 planetaries in the one image, not far from MZ1.

They are He2-114 on the left, and He2-116 on the right, and also an unidentified non stellar spot in the middle.
Image is 8x10 mins iso 400. LPS filter, Baader mpcc coma corrector, 10 inch f5.6 newtonian off axis hand guided. Though stars not twinkling much, seeing not as good, guide star would sit steady then start boiling from time to time.
Full size image here

Interesting how many places in the sky 2 identifiable planetaries can be captured in the one image.

EDIT: Ive used Star Atlas Pro to identify that mystery object as a galaxy, PGC3077037. Constellation: Circinus
