Description

Thors helmet, an emission nebula in Canis Major. Theres a Wolf-Rayet star in the middle, basically a very hot super giant thought to be in a pre super nova stage. The complex shape is likely due to interaction with a nearby molecular cloud. (thanks Wiki). Similar to the Bubble in the northern Hemisphere.

Processed as RGB only due to the weather gods taking the mick thus preventing me from getting Luminance or NB so far, but was intrigued by a post on the PI forum about RGB and L in general so am processing regardless. There is not a huge amount of data so I have not pushed this too hard.
