Hu 7
This is the first image of Hu 7 - a candidate planetary nebula discovered by French amateur astronomer Laurent Huet in January 2019.  Although registered as 5 arc minutes in size, this deep image reveals a much larger faint southern region. The brighter northen region, and off-centre CSPN, suggests that the CSPN has been moving north and the nebula has been interacting with the interstellar medium.
