Description

Reflection nebula on the outskirts of IC 5067 with no name or even any ID to this day. It has already been spotted by at least two amateur astronomers but none of them have given it a proper catalogue name. Apart from that, I couldn't find a single mention of this object in any database or article. It's quite surprising because it doesn't require any extreme exposure times to reveal its presence and it's located in a rather popular area of the sky among astrophotographers. Recently one of the users from Polish forum Astropolis also noticed this object and that post was my motivation for further investigation and also acquiring this data.
Location of the star in the middle of the frame (HIP 102746): 20d49m59.3s/+43d02m39.7s

I really like this framing where three types of nebulae intersect with each other. I would love to get more data on it but I don't think it'll be an optimal thing to do this year because of light pollution on the west part of the sky from my observation site. The weather is not helping as well...
