NGC 4361 is an obscure Planetary Nebula with an interesting look! This is a stack of 130×30 second images. In a preliminary data reduction there is around .3 of a magnitude variation in the light curve on a minute scale! This is the beginning of a survey of bright PN’s that will look for variability of the central stars.
