Identity of objects in rich Scorpio field?

[MLParkinson]

Does anyone know the identity of the objects in this field of view? What is the catalog number of the planetary nebula surrounding a star near the top left hand side of the dark pillar? The planetary nebula can be recognized as a small pink circular disk superimposed on the red Hydrogen alpha emission.

The approximate coordinates of this field are RA 16 h 48 m, Dec 41 d 15 m South.

I've always thought of it as 'the devil's gauntlet'

Malin calls it something else... (I forget)

The pillar is dubbed "Dark Tower", but not aware of a catalogue number for it. Not sure if that's a planetary, I always thought it was some reflection nebulosity.

Yes, I'm not sure it is a planetary nebula either. However, it is suspiciously round. Perhaps there is an expert on planetary nebulae out there in virtual astronomy land.
