| Does anyone know the name of the nebula near the star variously named as HIP 44093, HD 77140, HJ 4161 and others. I can’t find any reference to it anywhere in my meagre searches. I posted this image https://www.astrobin.com/5k2565/ a few days ago and would like to give it the correct title. I’m very new to astronomy, but that’s probably obvious! |

| I "think" its RCW38 or Gum 23, I imaged it a while back. https://www.astrobin.com/yn8nhi/?nc=&nce= |

Thanks Anne-Maree, no wonder I was having trouble, the images I found for that Ra and Dec look nothing like mine or yours. I guess it's all in the presentation. Anyway it'll always be the Beasts of Vela to me. Thanks again. |

Hi Neil, I think the beasts of Vela is a great name - much better than my attempt to name it. Even though we were clearly thinking along the same lines. But it is RCW 38. https://www.astrobin.com/8wqldr/C/?nc=&nce= CS Brian |

| Thanks Brian, I did get a chuckle out of your name for it. Funny how the same object can take on such a different appearance, not only by orientation, but also by the colouring and "texture" of the image. Nothing like ordinary photography is it, I'm really enjoying the creative part of astro! |

Hi again Brian, image renamed accordingly. Some CS would be a wonderful change! Neil |
