Mystery Nebulae

Hi all,

Albert (avandonk) recently shared with me his wide field image of Crux. It just framed the main stars very well. On the very edge (south of Beta), near the coal sack there appears to be a red nebulae with a central star (9th mag?). I was surprised that the full data base of Voyager 4 failed to identify it. I don't feel I have the right to post Albert's image, but I estimate it's position as 12hr 50.4m, -61° 35'.

Does anyone have any suggestions or imaged it themselves?

Regards

Glenn D
