I managed to get out last night and grab a series of LRGB Frames 120:60:60:60 30 sec exposures each of PN G288.7+08.1 and the "mystery" object.
The "mystery" object "looks" like a faint fuzzy when you compare it to the nearby Galaxy LEDA 445548 at R.A. 11h18m59.9s Dec. -52°19'43" (2000) in Centaurus at Magnitude: 17.30 B shown in the wider field view.
Also, SkyTools 4 Imaging shows two objects at the location of PN G288.7+08.1; the PN itself and a Spiral Galaxy ESO 216-2 as follows.
ESO 216 2
Galaxy
aka PGC 34540
R.A. 11h18m09.6s Dec. -52°10'00" (2000) in Centaurus
Magnitude: 15.40 B
Size: 35" x 32"
Mean Surface Br. 22.3 Mag/arcsec²
Class: Spiral
Hubble Type: Sbc
Orientation: Face on
Status: known galaxy
It spans 176 x 162 pixels, for a scale rating of C .
The full res crop of the "mystery" object (Yellow circle) appears to show two bright concentrations within the extended fuzzy outline. The mystery continues...
