Description

NGC 1501 is a hazy planetary nebula in Camelopardalis. It has been referred to as the Oyster Nebula and the Camel's Eye but doesn't have any other popular names I'm aware of. I think it looks like a beehive for some reason.

I don't remember the filters used for this image.

Data from November 19, 2008 obtained from Hubble Legacy Archive.
