Known as Shapeless SH 2-308 As this is my last image for the year Happy New Year to all on Ipernity.

This is an area very strong in Oxygen (blue) the visible gasses blown about. This is 28hours of data capture of Ha and Oiii and combined as HaOiiiOiii to get the object above. As its getting consistently warmer its harder to work with -10c as I started this so I will end and start on summer -0c.


The filters bring out the very faint red found in the background the the colour camera does not see nor the faint blue wisps next to the head. Enjoy one of the Marvels of space.
