Description

This object, which to me seems to be rushing through out galaxy, has been classified both as a Ha emission nebula and a molecular cloud (IFN). It is quite faint and there is no really strong Ha signal, at least not compared to what I am used to from objects in the Sharpless catalogue.

This is LRGB data obtained through my membership in Telescope Live at the El Sauce hosting facility at 1500m elevation in Río Hurtado, Coquimbo Region, Chile. Each channel is 5 x 10 min. Nice to have access to southern sky data, well below my usual horizon, especially now when rain and clouds are forecasted for the next week (at least) up here in Sweden.
