Description

The last stage of a star similar to our own, all that remains is a white dwarf in the center and expanding shells of what remains of its gasses. An outer glowing shell is visible even in the raw exposures which probably hides a complex Ha spectrum that isn't as visible in ordinary RGB light.

Forest fire smoke prevents me from exploring the Ha spectrum with a dedicated night all to itself, but the pure RGB from OSC looked  intriguing enough to post the data in its current state.
