Hi fellow astronomers!
I was shooting yesterday 2023-07-11 around the following target and noticed a nebula in that region.
Is that a new discovery that I spotted or it was discovered already in the past by anyonee? Trying to find the target name but can't seem to find it something.

Your help would be much appriciated from the discovery community if you can guide me.
Thanks.

This little PN is PN G016.3-02.3 (http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=PN%20G016.3-02.3&NbIdent=1)

A lot of the smaller ones around this size with pretty high surface brightness tend to be known, but it never hurts to check! Keep your eyes peeled and you may very well find a new one. Like this https://www.astrobin.com/mkm0e1/H/
