Description

An interesting planetary with a binary (spectroscopic) central star, the Robin's Egg nebula really does look like an egg.   I got just a very small part of one of the red extensions on one side.   The other side's red extensions are very faint and would require a much longer exposure to reveal.    The strong OIII emission is evident here as there's not much red visible in the nebula at all.
