IC5150 is a planetary nebula that I stumbled upon while looking for something relatively easy to photograph. It's not a bad sized object and relatively bright at Mag 11. Visually through a 15" Obsession the donut shape is clearly visible while the central blue star is definitely not visible.
While my colour balance might not be 100% correct in this image (still mastering how to do that with LRGB images) one thing is for sure, the central star is considerably blue compared to other part

While my colour balance might not be 100% correct in this image (still mastering how to do that with LRGB images) one thing is for sure, the central star is considerably blue compared to other parts of the FOV in the raw data.
The night started off well with the first 4 luminance images being of very high quality, but then a gusty wind picked up and the rest of the night (and shots) were hampered by that. I lost a large number of frames as a result.
