Mario Motta: Observer from Massachusetts

This was taken with my 32-inch telescope with NB filters (Ha, O3, and S2). Central star prominent, nice detail in the outer nebula. 

This is a very bright small planetary in Delphinus, so my exposures were very short at 40 seconds for the Ha and O-III. Total imaging about 1.5 hours.
