The location of Baber Nebula on a star chart

Baber Nebula was a nebula in the Beta Quadrant.

In 2293, Baber Nebula's position was labeled in the star chart for the "Operation: Retrieve" command briefing. The chart was from the Starfleet Command Intelligence Database. This star chart was seen in the office of the Federation President on Earth. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, set artwork)

This nebula's quadrant of origin is inferred based on the position of neighboring locations – Starbase 24 and Rura Penthe – as seen in the star charts appearing in the Star Trek: Discovery episode "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad" and in the Star Trek: Picard episode "Maps and Legends".
This chart was seen in greater resolution at threads at Flare.Solareclipse.net. [1] [2]
Many of these locations shared their names with the last names of crew who worked on the sixth film. This location was probably named after chief rigging electrician Keith Baber.
