Nice Jordan!
Mind if I ask what equipment combo you were using pls?

That's a fine image Jordan but I'm curious about the designation, HJ4161, it would suggest that it is a double star from the John Herschell catalogue, not a nebula. What resource did you get the info from.

Hi again Jordan, the closest match I could find for the nebula object is Gum 23, HJ4161 is the brightest star at top centre in your image. Hope that helps.
