Pretty nice. It reminds me a bit of that explosion the Excelsior got caught in at the beginning of Star Trek 6.

Good point that, color it red and draw the white line from the central area out along the horizontal and you'd have a great little Nexus!

99% it`s a galaxy, Whirpool - type, mid size.

Nice.
It's got to be a galaxy, though.

Galaxies are much more broad, and have less thickness. Nebulas have more of a spheric struture with a central star (or a cluster of stars).

I'd say this is more like a radio wave image of a pulsar or a quasar. But since this is visible light, I'd probably say something celestially new.

Maybe it's being viewed from the side.

hmm

Hmmm... from the point of view, and the brightness, it does look like gas. It might be a galaxy, but there are no distinct stars visible, only a BLOB of lighted yellow. Most definatley a nebula.

However, I'm confused as how a nebula isnt globular?? This is almost flat??
