NGC 6765 
NGC 6765 is a very small and very dim planetary nebula.    Attempting to image it with only an 8 inch scope was a little optimistic, but I did manage to just capture it.  The blue arrow points to a knot of nebulosity that clearly visible on the larger image and on the digitized sky survey image.  The f10 image shows the planetary more clearly.
