Description

This image is a 1 degree field of view around the nebula NGC 2467. It is also known as the skull and cross bones (for reasons which escape me). In the orientation as presented here I think it looks like a celestial fish swimming through the constellation of Puppis in the southern sky.

The data for the image has been captured with Astronomik 6nm narrow band filters for Ha, OIII and SII and a QSI683 CCD camera. A modified version of the Hubble Palette has been used to mix the colour channels which allows for a little more of the red to come through in the final presentation. The image is comprised of approximately 30 hours of data.
