LDN846 - a wriggly one for you

[Fegato]

I spotted this on a panel of a Veil Nebula mosaic that I haven't yet been able to complete due to our weather, and thought it deserved its own image!

Beverly Turner Lynds catalogued this as LDN846, possibly including some of the wider dust around it, as her dimensions seems to cover most of this image. I can't find any other pictures that focus on this object, just one or two where you can spot it in the corner of a wide field Veil Nebula image, but maybe there are some out there I don't know?  Any offers? Or any idea what's going on here - just a bit of buffeted dust I guess?

Taken with RASA 11v2 on CEM120 and ASI2400MC Pro. 89 x 30s.

Nicely done...I noticed this in a very widefield shot I did of the Veil last year.....its a very odd looking thing....really nice to see a close up of it...beautiful work

Thanks Peter. Yes, I spotted it on Aladin when framing the mosaic, fairly faint - but amazing what you can pull out with starless processing these days!
