I should first thank renowned astrophotgrapher Tom V. Davis, for calling my attention to this wonderful patch of sky.
I have seen this object first on his site upon which it had immediately become first priority.
I believe that as of today, this is the 2nd try for this area, after Tom's two excellent images.

The little nebula named "Cohen 129" is the small yellow-orange nebula amidst the mocca-molecular cloud at the center of the image.

North is left.
