Paul,

Have you seen images of the Fox Fur Nebula? Try working out why the hell its called that. The sky is full of things that have been named and which require a lot of lateral thinking to actually see the reason. I have never seen the logic behind a lot of them.

Looks more like an Irish Red Setter to me then a fox. I can see an eye,ear,nose and mouth (most in the same position as outlined above...but i saw them before i read the labels in that pic).

Yep its a red setter.
