First Planetary Nebula - NGC6302

My first attempt at finding and shooting something small and faint. Also my first long integrated exposure (by long I mean over 30min)

NGC6302 - Bug Nebula. These looks pretty cool. Anyone know of other decent planetary nebulae which are as easily visible as this one?

Total exposure time 55min
1min 27sec subs
Scope: Celestron C8 mounted on NEQ6Pro
Camera: Nikon D800 (cropped section)
Guiding: Orion Starshoot through 50mm finderguider (guiding was drifting slightly but not enough to cause problems with the 1:27 subs
