This is very much a work in progress as I need a lot more data. Unfortunately that will probably be a while given the weather so I thought I would post what I have so far. It's an interesting looking planetary with a double ring structure that you don't see very often. According to my UK colleague it hasn't been imaged by an amateur before. I had to use a lot of noise reduction but hopefully the next one should be better. I'm thinking a few hours of LRGB should do the trick.
Very nice Steve...wonder where this one will end up when you're finished?...
As I have said before, there are literally 100's of these little buggers out there worth capturing, PN's are definitely overlooked by too many imagers.

Thanks Mike. Hopefully it will end up a better image <g>. There are some galaxies there so the end result should be quite a attractive field. I think the reason PNs are neglected is that most of them are small. I don't usually touch any smaller than about 40".
Nice little planetary, thanks for sharing. Only point I'd make is the background looks clipped (on my display at least).
Yes - I was flirting with clipping on this one. It was hard to mask the background defects any other way. Hopefully the next version won't have that problem.
