Arr! Another star expelling its atmosphere? Well done. It's darn faint that's for sure.

Looking at centre of the image;

it looks like a rather large but faint greenish circumstellar disc. In the central region is the dark core of the nebula where a central star can be seen. I can also see the two aqua-colored brightenings in the nebula (almost north and south). Are these other stars? or do you think it is part of the nebula being illuminated or ionized? perhaps by the central star ?

PS. looks like weather will be good tonight!
