I see what you mean. My first thought was it looks like M57 at an oblique angle, but of course, M57 is actually a sphere and we are seeing the edges because they look denser from here. Something is obviously causing the gas to expand faster in one axis than the other - no idea what - similar reasons to NGC 7009 maybe?
