Hello Everybody,
I search PGC 3074547 (Boomerang Nebula) but I don't know where is it...
Can you help me? Thank you very much

I had a quick look to see if the 2MASS catalogue number was used, but it isn't I'm afraid. So I'll have to pass on this one.

it's ingame by its alternative name "bow-tie nebula". see (and bookmark) https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/complete-list-of-real-nebulae-and-galaxies-in-elite.178731/

This is wrong. The Bow-Tie nebula is in the other direction 3.5kly from Sol. Boomerang is supposedly 5kly in the direction of Centaurus. It looks like it is missing from the game.
