mental4astro - That was really great info, just what I was looking for!
Yes the oblong shape did look very close to your sketch. And hopefully I will be able to observe those two other nebulas you mentioned another night
There are a lot of bits of space junk
It's not uncommon to see some in the eyepiece

I find mental's sketches are great way to have a human view of whats there
