A possible planetary nebula in the constellation Cygnus.
The very deep exposures show parallel filaments in [OIII] and H-alpha. According to Professor Quentin Parker, an astrophysicist at the University of Hong Kong, this object is interesting because it is possible that the particular stripe structure of this nebula is the result of the dispersion of Alfvén waves. An Alfvén wave in a plasma is a low-frequency oscillation of the ions and the magnetic field.
Faint radio signals are also potentially detectable, and the faint arc-like structure is possibly associated with the mid-infrared in the WISE space telescope images. A source in the ultraviolet also reveals a possible CSPN (Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae). It could be an ionised ISM, but the exact nature of this object is still unknown. A spectrum is needed to clarify this question.
