Description

The Dolphin nebula is a bubble caused by the superfast stellar winds of a Wolf-Rayet star creating a shock against previously ejected material. This image is a combination of several nights of Ha and O3 data acquired during the full moon. Starnet2 was used to add in RBG stars after processing the narrowband data as HOO, after star removal.
