Description

On the hunt for Pluto with my 4 inch scope with a reducer bringing it down to 570 focal length. I was surprised to be able to capture the 0.1 arcsec planet - only as a dot - near star Tyc6890-476-1.  Was also surprised to discover a cloudy mass at the top which after a number of platesolving attempts found out to be PK017-21 1 otherwise known as ARO26 which is a 13th magnitude Planetary nebula.

Platesolved in Pixinsight and uploaded to have static platesolve on the image.
