... anyone know what this is?? I found it trawling around on Stellarium then got around 3.5 hours on it the other night but I'm still none the wiser about whether it's got an actual name 😂 anyone recognise it? It's located pretty much in the bottom left corner of Cepheus according to Astrometry!

See now someone else suggested that and then concluded the stars were in the wrong place...

Confusingly there appears to be 2 Seahorse nebulae in Cepheus, 174 as well as 150.

My copy of Uranometria 2000 Vol 1 shows it as LDN1164 (but also apparently known as Barnard 174 with a Google search)
