Description

Ever since I first saw the faint blue oxygen shell around this nebula, I really wanted to capture an image to bring that out. The OIII signal is really faint, so it requires a ton of integration time to really bring it out. I managed to get it in this image, but it could still use even more to bring out those faint shell details above. If I had a mono setup, I would shoot at least another 10 hours of just OIII. In any case, I really like how this one came out!

Title: Starless

Description: I cropped it because you can't really see it in the starry version, but at the very bottom of the frame is the "soap bubble" another bizarre space object.
