Horizons Help with astronomical object to Palazo.

[palazo]

Commanders need help figuring out which object or star is this.

Spoiler

It is part of our galaxy, still can not realize and always see.

I appreciate your help explorer.

Any information is appreciated.

My wild guess - a very unusual nebula.
Can you locate it on the gal map?

No, I try but do not succeed.

Try to find its general direction by targeting different stars, until you find out one that is pointing in its direction and then plot the route. If it won't get bigger and closer after 1-2 kLY, it's probably beyond the Milky way

^ this - if you can work out which direction it is from you, you can try scrolling around the galaxy map till you find it. There are lots of little nebula like this though...

AFAIK this is the (bugged) typical Rendering of a smaller/medium Nebula that is roughly about 1000-1500LY out.

NGC 7822 for example will have a phase of several hundred LY looking like that, before the Rendering goes correct again.

It's been bug-reported ages ago, but probably not high priority.
If you keep heading into the general direction, that distinct "round, fuzzy object" will have suddenly disappeared after another jump at some point, and will be replaced by a proper rendered Nebula again.

To verify that the Object isn't outside the Galaxy, use the GalMap, setup proper orientation and verify it by zooming way out.

Ok im go to do this now.

As above probably a bug.

Only one I can see it being is the Eskimo nebula but that's a big maybe and your position indicates you are above the Pleiades so it shouldn't be there. It's 100% a planetary nebula though.
