Gn 16.53.2

Hi all,

While "working" on my recent project (Prawn Nebula) and evaluating roundness of stars, I have noticed a new to me and curious tiny object.
Simbad identified it as a reflection nebula with a designation of GN 16.53.2, J2000 coordinates: 16 56 42 -40 15.3. It is about 25 - 30" across.

This reflection nebula also shows in OIII, which by the way has very little signal (coming from the Prawn Nebula) in comparison to Ha.

Thank you for looking
