An unusual circular region of very filamentary nebulosity, 3.5 pc diameter, exists on the southern edge of the interstellar complex of NGC 6334. This surrounds an 06.5 star. Narrow-band, Schmidt photographs centred on the Hα and [N II] and [S II] lines, a Fabry-Perot interferogram of the [N II] line, three intermediate dispersion (10 Å mm–1) AAT spectra and VLA measurements have now been obtained of this object. Many components over a range in radial velocity of 150 km s–1 are found over the face of the nebula. As this nebula is a thermal radio source and the line ratios imply radiative ionization, energetic stellar winds and radiation pressure from Lyman photons are a possible source of these motions.
