This is an interesting field from the Sharpless Catalogue of HII regions. The round centre feature is SH2-207 a round bright nebula, but I don't think it is a planetary nebula. Above this is the tiny Sh2-208 object - the whole area appears embedded in a molecular cloud with other faint nebulosity features all around it.

17 x 1200s frames across two nights with the 6nm Hydrogen Alpha filter, 285 camera and the Skywatcher 200 8 inch F5 newtonian telescope on the homemade telescope mount.
