Description

This large Ha region certainly looks like a pained face. Deiter Willasch et al "Pearls of the Southern Skies" calls it the Kobold after a mythical creature from his ancestral homeland. 30x300s at maximum gain with a nikon zoom at 70mm ASI294MC. Its 10x15 degrees so its big enough, just invisible when you are looking for it! Also known as Gum 73.
