Description

This is NGC 1491. My original plan was to capture this nebula with the Hubble Palette, but with the cloudy weather, I decided to work with the data I had, Ha and OIII. I liked the end result enough so that now I am going to skip capturing SII. This object was strong in both Ha and OIII with a very bright core that I had to tone down a bit. I am not sure why it's known as the Fossil Footprint.
