I observed this planetary nebula last weekend through 33" dobsonian and the view was similar to your photo. Both lobes were clearly visible and also brighter "polar caps" shined nicely. Only colors were not visible.
Anyway, this is one of my favorite PN!
Thank you for the post but we have already OOTW (http://www.deepskyforum.com/showthread.php?641-Object-of-the-Week-Oct-12-2014-NGC40-The-Bow-Tie-Nebula) here.

It would be nice to have an opportunity to watch PN through such a huge instrument as you have. As I see you are located in Bohemia as I am, what about having a meeting here?
