Description

Data courtesy of Dark Matters Astrophotography, and combined in an HOO palette. Star colors in original were created using HOO synthetic green palette, and in Revision B the stars are RGB. I'm impressed with how similar the sythetic green channel stars are to the RGB stars.

The beautiful bubbly shell of the helmet is created by stellar winds from the Wolf-Rayet star at its core.
