Notes. In the first and last rows we only separate Galactic and extragalactic nebula, stating simply the radial velocity from the heliocentric system. In the last line, we assume a physical separation between regions emitting in different emission lines ranging from 0.5 to 25 pc, based on the literature (see Sect. 4.2). The stated values show the apparent size when considering distances from 10 pc to 10 kpc (galactic nebula) and 770 kpc (M31 nebula). HII regions: Nakajima & Ouchi (2014), DIG: González-Díaz et al.
