Help: finding a nebula

HayyeZ · Feb 11, 2015

hi, Last night i was searching around the galaxy map and i came across a nebula with a black hole at the center (quite a large one) and now i cant find it, ive spent just over an hour just looking in the map. The only thing i know is the area that it was in.
It was about 3000ly away from the omega nebula.

It was in this area
i know its a but of a hard thing to answer but any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Would be nice to be able to pin systems you want to be able to reference later - for this and many other reasons. ^^

I had a quick look but couldn't find anything. Easiest thing to do is screenshot stuff when in the Gal map, I have a whole bunch of stars and Nebula saved for future visits.

The only one that I can immediately think of that will have black holes in it in that quadrant of the galaxy is NGC 7822 / S171.
It's another couple of thousand LY rimward from where you're looking though.

Don't think you mean this, but found this when looking (beauty). Not very far from your area.

I'll have a look when I'm back from college, all I can remember is it looking like the left overs from 2 stars colliding

I found it WOOO, but honestly i was disappointed by the black hole itself was expecting it to be larger, the system looks beautiful though, here are some screenshots:
