Description

This is a interesting planetary nebula in Triangulum Australe that seems to be rarely imaged, less so in natural colour via OSC.  It is 70x50 arcsec in size around Mag13.2.  Apparently it does have a very faint halo around it that extends about 75% to the bright star (around 4.5arcmin size) only discovered in 1998, but not visible in this image.  I think I will get more time on this target during a new moon to see if I can bring it out, but its not easy at F11 with no narrowband filters.
