About this image

Another of Callum Potter's challenging objects of the month. This one arcminute across planetary nebula rises no higher than 18 deg from my garden, making this object challenging due to poor transparency and difficulty of tracking.

It is surrounded by mag 14 and 15 stars, and I can just make out a mag 16.6 galaxy at the top of the frame.
