Last night I had some good conditions to image this small object. It looks like a small planetary but is in fact a small emission nebula with a really large star in its center that is nearing the end of its life. The whole field is really nice with faint hydrogen seen in the upper parts of the image and the diverse star field at the bottom. It could do with some more exposure time and I will try to get this next month before going onto other things.

Click here for image.
