A possible planetary nebula in Sagittarius that was discovered as part of the MASH catalog (Macquarie/AAO/Strasbourg Hα Planetary Galactic Catalog). It has unusual shell structures as well as an equally unusual tail to the north east (upper left). This is believed to be the first high-resolution image of this target.
