Description

Many astronomical images can evoke awe, Thor's Helmet is one for me.  I felt awe as the first Ha and Oiii light frames loaded onto my laptop's screen, through to the finished processed image.  Even for most people that take a passing interest in astronomical photos, this nebula garners an emotional response.
