Famous Ghost of Jupiter NGC3242

Earlier on April 21, 2020 I took some pictures of NGC3242, a planetary Nebula, known as the famous Ghost of Jupiter. It's magnitude is 7.3 but it shows up low above the horizon. I could not get the central star as I only could make 2 pictures due to blocking by a tree. The planetary nebula is located in constellation Hydra and about 4800 light years from Earth.
Settting with Nikon D7500 and TAL200K f/8.5, ISO 6400 and 2x60s exposure time. Stacking and editing with CS4.
