Description

IC 1747 is a Planetary Nebula in the Cassiopeia constellation. IC 1747 is situated close to the northern celestial pole and, as such, it is visible for most part of the year from the northern hemisphere.

Riedel Rudolf has a nice RGB image and encouraged me to try this object.

Another fine RGB rendition by Gary Imm looks different from the NB with the O-III externally.  Do not think this is an artifact since all the stars are correct and they are dual band stars. The detail is all from the H-alpha which came out well using HDMRT at level 3 (after testing all levels 1-10).  No AI, just PI. 

Here is the H-alpha detail (drizzled) followed by the O-III, same HDRMT:
