I wouldn't say it's as good as Mike B's fine shot, but I do like it. This is 43x60s at ISO800 w/Hutech 350D
8 inch SN at F4
Losmandy G11 mount
Guided with a DSI Pro and PHD.

Does anyone know where PK231+4.1 is? I perused the full size TIFF but didn't spot it. I was wondering if I caught it.

Tom, great image!

The other planetary is above and to the left of the one in the cluster.

Looks like I caught it, although the image is pretty noisy.
