Description

Not an easy one to process this, I'll leave it until I know more about what I'm doing.

Taken last Feb and March.

NGC 2359 is an emission nebula in the constellation Canis Major. The nebula is approximately 3,670 parsecs away and 30 light-years in size. The central star is the Wolf-Rayet star WR7, an extremely hot star thought to be in a brief pre-supernova stage of evolution. Wikipedia.
