Captured remotely Telescope #1 (ASA-RC D = 1m f/6.8, FLI ProLine 16803) system of ChileScope observatory over 3 imaging sessions carried out on May 11, 12, 13 of 2023. Original revision uses OHS color mapping to RGB channels, while revisions B and C are using HSO color mapping to RGB channels. The full resolution versions of revisions B and C are also available under [5, 6]:

The He 2-111 planetary nebula is also visible on the image obtained with T5 and T3 Chilescope systems earlier in Ha only, albeit in lower resolution [7 ,8, 9]:
