Thanks Gary, stumbling across your post was a serendipitous event, as I was looking for some celestial target to test out my new configuration with the WO 50mm Guide scope and ASI290MM Guider.

It is a dim, tiny object indeed.

Some data from SkyTools Imaging V4:
  • Planetary Nebula
  • PN G288.7+08.1
  • aka ESO 216-2, ESO 216-02
  • R.A. 11h18m09.7s Dec. -52°10'02" (2000) in Centaurus
  • Galactic lon: +288°44', Galactic lat: +08°07'
  • Magnitude: 15.50
  • Size: 36"
  • Mean Surface Br. 23.0 Mag/arcsecē

Cheers

Dennis
