Images of the annular nebula located at the geometric center of KjPn 8 (see Figs. 1a and 1b), obtained with the WFPC2 camera on board the HST. The final drizzled data arrays have resulting pixel dimensions of ﹩0.05\times 0.05﹩ arcsec2. The core contains a star right at the center of the tilted ionized ring and is clearly detected in the [S II] image, which has the widest passband and longest integration time of all. Coordinates are J2000 and have been derived from CMT observations with an accuracy of 0﹩\farcs﹩13.
