About this image

IPHASX J032427.5+613147 is registered as an HII region, and also as a reflection nebula in Camelopardalis.  However this deep image suggests otherwise given the bow-shock structure and presence of OIII as well as H-alpha emissions (SII is also present). 

Captured on my remote robotic telescope in Spain.
