After a bit of a SIMBAD search on the co-ordinates, I'm pretty certain the object in the photo is a poor image of the HII region RCW 91B

A nice little puzzle for a Friday night!
Comments??

Best,

Les,
Your last post must have just popped in before I finished my last one.
We are both in the same general region.
I think RCW 91B is too close to beta Cir. If you look at Shane's photo, the object is slightly further from beta than beta is from gamma.
Regards, Rob.
