AGZ000d55o - typing an object

  • jm-v by jm-v

    Hi all, best wishes for the new year.
    I feel hesitating about this object :

    • the dark band and his size suggests an overlap by a dark cloud part of the milkyway
    • the main object can be an disturbed galaxy, partially hidden
    • the symmetrical shape around the center don't let think to arms, bicause is suggesting a loop and it's not the common curve of galactical arms
      May this onject be a planetary nebula into the milkyway ?

    Hi jm-v

    To me it looks like a disturbed spiral galaxy with the spiral arm at the bottom very smeared out. It is definitely not a nebula.

    Happy hunting ! 😄
