About this image

A small variable nebula adjacent to the star V900 Mon. I've not spotted any obvious change in it since soon after it first appeared. But given it appeared out of nowhere, always worth monitoring.

Sorry the image is a bit blobby. A combination of focus that had gone off and a not very high nebula.
