Abell 73 bicolor

Abell 73 (PK 95+7.1) is a faint planetary nebula in the constellation Cepheus. It's coordinates are RA 20:56:27, DEC 57:26:03. Other than the DSS red and blue plate images and that from the IAC Morphological Catalog of Northern Galactic Planetary Nebulae, I am unable to find another image of it. The apparent magnitude is 16.5 with a central star magnitude of 21 (not seen in these narrowband images). Thanks Sakib Rasool for suggesting this target.

I think luminance might show the central star.
