The greenish object in the lower left of this photo is not being plate solved by Astrobin and I cannot find any reference to it in any photos I've seen of NGC 6820. 
Does anyone know what it is:

Hi Messierman3000,

Thanks for checking that!  I couldn't find it anywhere I looked.  How did you connect the dots?  Did you type in the RA and DEC coordinates?

I've learned what the object is.  It's a planetary nebula and its name is LAN 21 (see above).

One thing that makes answering these questions a lot easier is the new Seti Astro script for exploring and identifying objects in your images.

I saw the faint PN on Telescopius, centered it, copied the coordinates, and pasted the coordinates in Simbad, then I checked what was in the area closest to the coordinates, and the first object on the list was a PN, Lan 21, which I assumed must be the nebula in your image, and it is
