Description

This is an another image of the High Galactic Cirrus, also known as Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN) that fills much of the north circumpolar region. This particular view is situated at 86 degrees north declination. I cannot find that it has ever been catalogued as a distinct object. To me it looks like a dusty Rosette Nebula.
