SH2-5

Have you ever captured an image and upon closer inspection seen something unexpected? Here is a perfect example. I shot this object called Sh2-5, it looked like there was some Ha nebulosity in there so I was interested in it mainly for that reason. I processed it this afternoon and hello planetary nebula! I plate solved the image and annotated it in Pix to see what I had “discovered” and it’s NGC 6337
