The Swedish Meatball Nebula - PNG 056.7-00.3

I believe this to be the first ever close up colour image of the likely PN PNG 056.7-00.3 or IPHASX J193809.1+205412. I therefore took the liberty of dubbing it "The Swedish Meatball Nebula", given the structure and me being a Swedish fan of (IKEA) meatballs.
Those of you being my age might also see the resemblance of the iconic ELO album cover...

It is located in the Vulpecula, not far from M27 and according to HASH has a size of 146 arcsec. Below is a iphas3 colour image of it:

If you want to try it, beware that it is very faint. It took me almost 50h at f/2 to get this image (27h Ha and 21h Oiii). So, if you attempt it with a f/8 system, that would mean about 7-800h of exposure...

All exposures are unguided 120s at f/2 and binned 1x1. A dynamic combination of Ha and Oiii was used. Image is very cropped and drizzled.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
