About this image

Faint and diffuse. There is a stellar point at the centre which may be the nucleus or a foreground star. Around this is a circular area that is quite easy to see. Further afield is a much fainter elliptical glow, best seen with averted vision. There are hints that this object actually fills the whole field.
