Description

Thor's Helmet Nebula (NGC 2359)

While I was shooting the Elephant trunk on Dec 8, it went behind my neighbor's roof. There were still a few hours left so I searched for another object. I wasn't willing to give up on the only few hours left before the next cycle of rain was about to kick in. 
Thor's helmet was way too close to the full moon but I thought of giving that a try anyways. Here is the result of 4 hours integration.
