Small PN in Puppis - the bright star is 16 Puppis.
Only 40" across. Not a great image - but there aren't many images of this one.

SCT 9.25 @ f/10 CGEM guided with Orion ST80 and Lacerta Mgen.

CDS Canon 60d @-10C ISO1600 34x120s.

Nice image Tony looks a little like a distant helix nebula

That's great Tony. I nice capture of a PN that would possibly go unnoticed.

Thanks for your comments.
I can't match the quality of images here - so I go for lesser known objects that are easier. I like PNs - it's a pity most of them are so small.

Nice work, Tony. Always nice to see an uncommonly imaged object.
