Thank you for sharing your photos - this is exactly what this project is all about! :-)
During processing, I noticed a small, unidentified object at the edge of the frame (top right). As it turned out, this bean-shaped feature is the planetary nebula WeBo 1, presented as a close binary star system, discovered in 1995 by Ronald Webbink and Howard Bond. At its center is now an orange giant that once absorbed material from its companion and turned it into a white dwarf. An unexpected surprise.
