BBW 56 The Mystic Mountain.
Faint and mysterious in appearance, it located in the constellation of Puppis within the Gum Nebula complex.
BBW 56 is a mountain shaped molecular cloud of dust and primarily Hydrogen Alpha gas.
The area is surrounded by a number of Cometary Globules including the well known CG 4.
