Description

From Galaxymap:

There is very little to report about this faint, obscured nebula located above the galactic plane except that ammonia was detected in this direction in a 1996 study and it is prominent in infrared as can be seen in this MSX image.

Sh 2-76 and several other prominent infrared sources are also located in a similar direction suggesting that there is something interesting in this region but there is little in the scientific literature about it. It is also significant that millimetre emission suggests the presence of dense molecular clouds in this direction.
