Very difficult object to image. I wasn't planning on imaging it but rather the Globular Cluster itself. When I returned home from Africa, Rich Jakiel was looking at the image and suggested we get a detailed finder chart of the PN just in case it was there. We secured a finder chart, very detailed, from Hubble images. The article mentions the red star and the blue star above and below the PN. The PN itself is the light blue spot between the two stars.
