Description

Took a while before I finally processed this. Thor's Helmet is a great target for those who are fans of Norse Mythology, Comic books, or more likey, emission nebulae rich in Oiii. It is about 12000 light years away.

The Oiii rich nebula is a pleasure to process and it is headlined with the striking filamentous structure that creates the horns and the helmet. RGB stars were added.

CS!
