I have interesting region of interest on my image

I’d like to ask some one I hope br Adam will take some of his time and give me ideas about it .

I hope you can see on the attachment what I have circle .

For fun I would call it UFO on the Nebula 🤓 Based on my illusion.

My real question is is this from the stars being covered with gas dust of front of the stars or is reflected from on the sides .

Clear skies .

Thanks

Hi Refet, nice imaging and processing of WR134!

The encircled part is not an artifact, it is in fact the soap bubble nebula. It was discovered not too long ago, although it was visible in many pictures before its discovery.

These are two small reflection nebulae. They are visible in other images, for example this one.

If you’re ever unsure about an object in your image I recommend doing a SIMBAD query.

The soap bubble is 2 degrees north, outside of OP’s field of view.
