This one is not imaged often. In fact, I could not find it any where. It has some interesting subtle colors however.

Tom,
Very nice and dusty image. I can't recall seeing this guy before. I think you did a nice job of it. I am guessing from the vividness of the starfield that this is a fairly dim object.
