Fascinating. There are clearly the wisps of nebulae at long range, but... the only thing I'm finding is frankly not possible. The coloration is very similar to NGC 604, out in the Triangulum.

And I know that can't be right.

Keep us posted. There's certain to be more than one way in. I want to know who else controls an ingress.

Don't worry. There's too many unknowns for us to want this to get out.
