Description

*** Update: I have discovered this is RCW 119a / Gum 57a, possibly first documented by Gum in 1955 as part of his survey. ***

So far I haven't been able to find this object using any of the usual catalogues and maps.

It is close to or possibly part of Sh2-2 and close to the Moth Wing Cluster.

This is a 3x drizzle of SHO exposure at 300mm and I am looking forward to putting some aperture and focal length on this object to see if more detail can be resolved.
