Abstract
We report the serendipitous discovery of a bipolar nebula in a citizen science search for non-stellar emission line objects using online sky surveys. It is associated with an infrared (IR) source and is situated next to a dark cloud, seen in emission in the far-IR (FIR). Evidence for an extinction gradient across the object has been found, pointing to close-by dust. This supports the notion that the newly found source is a young stellar object (YSO). It shows an enhanced surface brightness in the r-band, which covers the main emission lines typical for Herbig–Haro objects (HHOs). For an estimated distance of 1.7 kpc, an optical to FIR luminosity of ≳18.5 L ⊙ was derived.
