Description

This is another weird one. Much like the Bubble Nebula, this nebula formed around a highly energetic Wolf Rayet star but has more interesting patterns swirling out from it. I've been fascinated by this object since I first saw it. My scope doesn't have quite enough reach to do it justice, but by cropping in, drizzling, and using tools like BlurXterminator, I can manage a decent image.
