Yes, that is the object I was referring to. Thanks for the other pics of the nebula!

If you are talking about that little blue dot on the top of the star cluster; I believe that is the planetary nebula that the APOD link is referring to. :shock:

In the picture, there appears to be an object in the upper portion near the left side, at the 10:30 direction from the center of the picture. Any idea what it might be?
