Frog (and friend)

Does anybody recognize this dark nebula? I have tried to find the answer to this question but with no success until now.

Great looking capture.

I can see the frog so clearly!

That region has so many great objects but unfortunately from here in Sydney it is too low.

Where do you image from in Greece?

Ross.

Yeah that's where I'm from.
Great shot. What's the RA/DEC? Can we see it from anywhere in Australia?

Thank you guys
Actually I did not photograph this target but is on my next plans to do so.
I shoot from a north suburb of Athens, the capital of Greece
But Greece has many dark sky locations one can enjoy astrophotography to the maximum experience!

Unlikely this far south Marc. Queensland maybe.
