Description

ESO 256-19 (PK 258-15.1 or PN G258.0-15.7) is a rarely photographed planetary nebula in the Puppis region.  
Quite small, and at magnitude ~13, there is not a lot of information out there on this nebula.  The Oiii is quite bright, and contains most of the detail, with the Ha (red) being present but not dominant.  There is also a large amount of Ha in the region, which can be seen in this image.
I originally captured in SHO, but there was almost nothing present in Sulphur so I reverted to a HOO image.
