Description

V347 Normae, also known as Henize 2-147, is interstellar matter in Norma. To me, it appears to be just a ring ejected by nova outbursts from the central symbiotic binary star and not a planetary nebula, kind of like the famed R Aquarii system, which is pretty cool. Since there is only one filter available in the archive I just came up with a trick I used to get slight color, which is to use the older data as blue and the newer data as red, and make a pseudo green. I can see a slight blue tinge using this technique, which may be due to different exposure times but whatever. The stars however have only one channel and I decided to very slightly color them light yellow, but very slightly in order to not really color the noise as well. At least it makes them feel less grayscale.
