Description

This very rarely imaged object from the Sharpless catalogue is located about 2.5 degrees north of the Lobster Claw and Cave Nebulae. I can only find one other image of it on Astrobin. Quite strong in Ha but no Oiii to be found by the NBZ dual-band filter. Imaged over two nights since nights are getting very short up here, so this willl be my second but last image for the season.

I have posted an A and B version, the latter brighter and more contrasty. I realized that my preference depends on what screen I see it on.
