Description

This is a new object for me.  I've never heard of it before but saw it posted by another on FB.  Last night was clear enough to get a decent set of subs for an image so I thought I would try to see what I could get.  This is a nice object.  I like the dark "seagull" lane across the middle of the central gas clouds.  Never ceases to amaze me all of the different shapes of these objects.
