The Ha clouds that dot this area are just a small part of the giant hydrogen cloud that stretches across most of the constellation, some 6,000 light-years away.

The planetary nebula is located closer to us, some 2500 light-years away…

Note that for this image, I’ve kept the palette from the mix without replaying the selective corrections, in an attempt to best render the two main nebulae.
