Its location is only 750 light years and is not related to the fog, it is much more distant 5000 light years. region. , IC1318 a, b, and c. IC 1318 B and C constitute a single giant HII cloud divided in two by a thick dust rail known as LDN 889. The two components (b and c) of the HII region extend over the thick dust along its northern and southern borders. 

In selecting this region on the IC 1318 'b' side , I did not realized of the Eagle Shape Head on the right had corner until i started the procession of the images , the shape is an accumulation of gases in the region.
