| Foraxx rendition of Sh2-206, also known as LBN 704, NGC 1491 or the Fossil Footprint Nebula, is an emission type bright nebula located about 9,800 light years away from us, in the constellation of Perseus. Discovered on 23 December 1790 by William Herschel, the nebula gets its deep red coloration due to many massive stars embedded within NGC 1491 producing large amounts of ultraviolet radiation and ionizing the hydrogen gas that makes up the nebula.
