SPX350 F4.53, ATK-16HR, Astrodon Ha5nm OIII 3nm and RGB for stars.

Ha-2hrs in 10min subs.
O3-8hrs in 15min subs.
RGB-10x2min subs each for stars.

Taken throughout second half of July this conspicuous object with 2 bright patches either side of a bright 5th mag star with faint outer filamentary shells. This object should have a name, bright patch looks like 'safety goggles'?

Others have caught this object in widefield showing filaments well so though it needed a closer view. Had problems with secondary collimation as mirror seemed to move ever so slightly when slewed so now it is tightly set. Looks like a bipolar planetary nebula.

Type O star at 40x Sun's mass and very hot throws off outer most shells of gas periodically like Bubble Nebula NGC7635 in Cassiopeia, it will live to only 6mill years and is past halfway. Object is 4,200lyrs away and 4.2 lyrs across.

Thanks for looking, John.
