IPHASX J195318.5+371005
A strange and intriguing irregular nebula with lots of interlocking filaments in the constellation Cygnus. Theories include it being a possible supernova remnant but has also been notified as a candidate planetary nebula or possibly just ionised interstellar medium. It was found in the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric H-alpha Survey of the North Galactic Plane.
