Object:
BBW 56
Notes:

BBW56 is one of 400 objects catalogued by Brand, Blitz and Wouterloot. The catalogue established in 1986 was based on a study to understand the outer galaxy rotation curve from the Southern Hemisphere. As Brand, Blitz and Wouterloot researched the southern sky they catalogue various objects. Many of these objects are lesser known perhaps due to being extremely faint. BBW56 is a complex nebula comprising of emission and dusty reflection nebulosity (Cited from Jason Jenning´s website)
