Description

The Eskimo Nebula, also known as the Clown-faced Nebula, Lion Nebula, or Caldwell 39, is a bipolar double-shell planetary nebula. It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel in 1787. The formation resembles a person's head surrounded by a parka hood. -Wikipedia

There is more detail in these data on the edge that I can make much of in terms of color, so I decided to try to focus on the core.
