blinking nebula

Hello,
Newbying with a classic, the blinking nebula.
A quick RGB OIII Ha for the context (only 1-3 sub for each filter, OIII saturated, sorry..)

The added spectrum image before sky subtraction :

Looks like not in focus
Also lots of noise in the blue part : not enough flats maybe ?

The slit was positioned on the central "star". Either this is an artifact from the instrumental correction, or this thing is HOT - planck curve at 50,000 and 250,000 K in red and dark blue respectively :

Could this be the central white dwarf ?
