NGC 6445 Planetary nebula

Hi all, this object got my attention from page 71 of the Australian Sky and Telescope magarzine, July issue 2010. It has an unusual rectangular shape, and some very faint extentions that I was not able to record. Perhaps if I used longer than 4 minute exposures, I may have recorded them.

It is magnitude 11.2 with a size of 0.7' in the constellation of Sagittarius. Easily seen in 40mm eyepiece with its rectangular shape.

This image is from 15 x 4 minute exposures at ISO 1600 with astro 40D and 14" SCT at F10.
