Description

SNR SH2-224 in the HOO palette. If you turn it the 'right way up' and use you imagination it really does look like someone in a 'rice' hat 
This is another really faint object that I struggled with. It's not as deep as I would like and the OIII especially was weak and noisy. The weather was completely uncooperative so judging things weren't going to improve I decided to call it quits. I think it's ok aesthetically but it's a bit of a compromise between noise and sharpness so best to not look too closely!
