It looks a different hue of red in the RGB composite.

Are these neighbours in the Large Magellanic Cloud region?

Hi Humayun,

The planetary nebula is my best guess from my extremely limited knowledge of such stuff.

The different hue is due to the large Ha contribution in the Luminance channel, like the nearby nebulae.

Yes, theses are in the LMC, it's my idea of widefield
