Description

Henize 2-111
This beautiful spiral shaped bipolar planetary in centaurus was quite a challenge.
Not only is it faint but it is also very close to alpha centauri.
It needed quite a bit of clone stamping to get rid of the bright spike from the -0.27 mag star.
The image is a SHO with Ha mapped to Red, SII to Yellow and OIII to Blue.
Hope you like it.
Wolfgang
