the s nebula

[alacant]

Hi everyone

Any ideas what this is? nova.astrometry.net doesn't annotate it so I decided 's'.

Anyway, it's quite a nice patch. Starting with at astro-dark, it doesn't reach the meridian before sunrise. This looks like a good plan in general; catch it early in the east and let it go all -what's left of the- night at this time of year.

Process: not easy to fix the background mess. The colour is all over the shop. Any ideas for stuff like this where it's all gas and dust?

Cheers and thanks for looking.

No idea what it is but it looks nice.

I think it's referred to as the propeller nebula.

I have seen this called the Propeller Nebula  (  DWB-111  ) ( Simeis 57 ).

Good and varied star colour sets off the Ha feature really well.
