AA+ Capture of SH2-155 looks like NGC7380

I captured 3 nights of NGC7380 and switched to SH2-155 two nights later. When I processed SH2-155 its appearance surprised me. It looked identical to NGC7380. I checked the web and SH2-155 looks different. I booted up AA+ to verify its settings. Preview said SH2-155 and the names of the subs begin with SH2-155. Can anyone confirm that they captured the real SH2-155? Or did something get messed up in my system?

More info. I checked what the coordinates are for the two DSOs. They were different. The problem is unexplainable.

End of story.

I just imaged Sh2-155 and everything worked as desired. With one issue, all the light subs were named “NY Cepheus”! I let the auto run finished and changed the file name to Sh2-155. PixInsight Image Solver had no problem identifying Sh2-155 and the Processes that require a proper coordinate location functioned properly. Strange goings on for sure. Using ASIAIR Plus.

NY Cepheus is a star just to the left of the nebula. Did you point your scope somewhat off the center of the nebula itself? I have had issues where I move the mount slightly off of the original GoTo position using the Sky Atlas and the lights ended up with the name "Cross" as I used the cross to align where I wanted to center the image.

No, I did notice NY Cepheus in the lower left of the frame, Sh2-155 was in the middle of the frame. No clue for the actions of ASIAIR+.
