Hi Phil
COVID is still playing havoc with meetings so not sure when I will next get to a dark sky site. But, I did rummage through my spares box and lo and behold, I found a Lumicon UHC I purchased used at a local Astrofest back in 1990's! Thanks for the suggestion.
I managed to get out tonight and grab 15 x 300 sec exposures through the UHC and although the seeing wasn't that good, the PN G288.7+08.1 showed up much more strongly as did the "mystery" object.
Cheers
Dennis
