I am pleased to introduce you all to a new discovery, Falls 1! This is a beautiful circular Oiii emission nebula in the constellation Puppis. I found out just now that 'Puppis' translates to 'poop deck'. There is a lot going on in Puppis, there are tons of swirling clouds of hydrogen-alpha, and planetary nebulae all over the place. I recommend checking out
@Andy 01 's image to get an idea of how cool Puppis is:

I can only assume it has gone unnoticed in part because of the Ha cloud it is embedded within. I chose to leave it out of the final image because it was distracting to the blue color of the nebula.
Anyways at the heart of the object is a nice hot subdwarf star:

Whether or not this is a 'true' planetary nebula is yet to be seen, but I think it is unlikely. Because of its morphology, its catalogue naming is in line of a planetary nebula.
I named this nebula after the sci-fi novel 'Dune'. The eyes of the inhabitants of the planet Arrakis are colored blue due to their prolonged exposure to spice, the chemical which makes interstellar travel possible.
