Excellent image, I havent seen this object presented here much, the star in the middle of the planetary would be good for a close up with AOL'ing.

Thanks for the acknowledgement Fred. The image needs more Ha. 15min subs @ F/9 probably isn't long enough.

Your Father was obviously much loved and special to you and you have produced a wonderful celestial portrait to honour his memory. Time will indeed heal and may your heart be filled with the many happy memories from having loved and cared for each other.

Thanks John. Your thoughts are welcomed.
==============
I'm overwhelmed by the kind responses. I sincerely appreciate all your thoughts and warm gestures. Thank you.
I've attached the composition of the frame produced from TheSky. The grey dot is the SAC Ru 120 open cluster. I was hoping it was going to be more pronounced in the image. This composition appeared practical as I was able to also select a clean guide star (smaller box) for on-axis self-guiding. I like the blue star in the center of the frame - it somehow provides symmetry to the image. I should note that the image is a crop of a slightly larger frame.
