A bit of bicolour Soul

[tomato]

Here is a portion of the Soul Nebula imaged in Ha and OIII, imaged with an Esprit 150 and G2-8300 camera. I assigned the Ha to red, the OIII to green and blue, not sure what the latter has added to the image. As usual for me, not much integration time, 3600 secs Ha and 6000 secs OIII.

I confess I don’t really know what I’m doing with these false colour images, I just played around until I got something similar to other images out there.

Can anyone tell me about the object in the lower right quadrant, shown in the cropped image? It’s definitely real as it appears on other images of this object, is it a similar structure to the Bubble Nebula?

Thanks for looking

Thanks Simmo39, on reflection I note that in adjusting the nebulously colour I have killed the star colour that was present, I might give it another go.
