Description

Sh2-129, the Flying Bat Nebula, and the planetary/mass ejection candidate OU4 discovered by Outters et al in 2012. OU4, the Giant Squid Nebula, is located within SH2-129 and based on observations by Romano Corradi, et al. is a possible ejection event from star HR 8119 launched about 90,000 years ago. The distance of these objects is about 700 parsecs.

OU4 is only visible in OIII, which is very weak in SH2-129.
