Description

BBWo56 is a dim emission nebula amidst the southern Milky Way in Puppis. It is usually pictured in Ha B&W monochrome or in HaRGB. Color images of the dominant Ha red usually lack contrast. In this image I have used a false-color hot iron or black body palette to enhance the nebular outline.
