I'm not sure if this is good or not, I can't find much info on it.
It was very small in the images - I cropped it to death.
There's only 4 x 2 min 12 sec subs there, but it looks worth getting some more info on it - the clouds rolled in last night before I could get any more!

The stars seem round enough so I guess the tracking is ok - the image looked like it was about 5 seconds across - but I don't know what mag or anything it is

Just thought I;d add M7 for good measure - at least that one looks ok

Thank you all so much for adding comments - it's good to feel wanted - I only asked if anyone knew anything about it, I wasn't looking for kudos.

Hi Jennifer, nice image of this planetary. It is magnitude 11.0 and size 0.8' in the constellation of Sagittarius. I had not seen your thread till just now. Looking forward to more images with your set-up.

Nice PN! Good to see a variety in the objects people image. Keep it up!

Nice catch.

Most of these planetaries are fairly dim and small with a few exceptions.
