Description

The last nights my hunt for Integrates Flux Nebulosity (IFN) has taken me to Mandel-Wilson 5 in Camelopardalis/Lynx. They named this structure The Fish Hook Nebula and I think I can see why. They classified it as faint but I found a least parts of it to be a bit brighter than most IFN. There is also quite a bit of red nebulosity in the image. Not sure if it is Ha emitting nebulosity of just IFN reflecting red, as some IFN / Galactic cirrus is apparently doing (see http://www.deepskycolors.com/archive/2017/01/01/Clouds-Of-Andromeda.html)

The first version shows an annotated image made in PI. Lots of small PGC galaxies but nothing as fancy as NGC or IC objects.
