NGC 7662 LRGBO

I had initially attempted a deep image of NGC 7662, the Blue Snowball, a planetary nebula in the constellation Andromeda in 2009. What I assumed was a filter reflection turned out to be a legitimate halo, and I initially described the extra halo "jet" structure at that time. I added to this image in 2012 and decided to give it one last effort presently.
