In 1976, photos from the British Schmidt Telescope showed several objects in the Gum Nebula that resembled a comet in shape. The Gum Nebula (Gum 12) is an emission nebula in the southern constellations Vela and Puppis.
These globules are irradiated with ultraviolet light from nearby hot stars and then show a shedding of material, creating a tail. Each globule has a dense, dark, broken head and a very long tail, the latter emanating from the Vela Supernova Remnant.

What does "Deep sky photography" mean
There are celestial objects outside our solar system that can be easily observed with modern optical systems. In amateur astronomy, the term deep sky refers to observable celestial objects that are located outside the solar system. These include, among other things, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies.
What exactly is "remote-controlled astronomy"
A remote-controlled telescope is operated by an observer via the Internet and is located in an observatory with an automatic system. This offers the unique opportunity to record deep sky objects that are difficult to observe from your own location.
