Hi, has anyone taken a photo of PN NGC 7027 in Cygnus? I was out with my 9.25" the other night and really enjoyed the wealth of faint details visually (very light polluted). There appeared to be two lobes, and one of the lobes has a sharp brightening at the edge, almost like a wedding ring, almost seems like an embedded star. And there seems to be a dark rift between the two lobes. I was wondering if anyone has taken a pic of this, would like to see how that looks like. Thanks, Ivan
