IC 4706-4707
the “Brain Stem Nebula”
Very rarely imaged in this detail, it most of the time gets passed up for the wonderful Messier 17, but this has some very interesting structure. I haven’t found a lot about this part of the Omega Nebula. It looks like a nebula with a brain stem.
It really pops in narrowband with tons of structure, you can also see it here in RGBHa .
