Hi,

This is rarely imaged and I do not have OIII filter. So I was just processing the data kindly provided by Dean Salman.

Very peculiar object.

Mark, it's one of your best - lovely delicate filaments and colours. Never seen this target before either, but it's a gem.

Great image.

At a guess I would say that is a planetary nebula formed by a star blowing off it's outer atmosphere.

Obviously I could look it up but I like to try and work it out first.

Shapeless? That's a bit harsh, looks like a dolphin to me!
