Is that an ego on the bottom there or a nebula ?

I wouldn't have marked it as an EGO or a nebula. Looks like a bubble with a star cluster in it to me.

I am also new here, but let me try to help a little, EGOs are supposed to be green strikes of light (thus the name Extended Green Objects)
And the bubbles we are required to mark are more like disruptions in a seemingly regular and homogeneous dust cloud.In your image, the dust cloud is the faint red shade dominating the lower part of the image, and the disruption there is a bubble.
That is my opinion, but, pls correct me if I'm wrong 😃

Yes, that's a good summary! There is also a potential planetary nebula in this image. Here is it a little closer.

Is it on the middle left part of this image, with a bright star in the center?
