Abell 39 - Ghostly planetary

This is perhaps the most unusual looking object I've ever imaged.  I've provided a fair bit of info about it with the image at the link below.  One interesting thing is that it is one of the largest known spheres, with a diameter of 2.5 light years.  I thoroughly enjoyed imaging this nebula.  The processing was challenging, but I got to try out a few new techniques.  Lots of bonus galaxies to see in this one too...

Hello Ron, amazing image of this nebula. Have you already done the tutorial to the processed this image?
 
I liked very much! Good color calibration and better extraction of the tiny details.
 
Best regards
