Description

This is Sh2-308 taken by SHO near Sakurajima in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan on February 12th.
It was great with a sky full of stars. This time, I photographed the Dolphin's Head Nebula. You can almost hear the dolphins' cries.
I was able to observe O3 well, but I also tried to express the inner Ha. Normally, Ha is spread over the entire surface, but it was clear that only a small amount could be observed at the end of the star's life.
This time, I was able to once again experience the wonders of celestial bodies.
