Description

NGC 246 or the "Ear" (my term) Nebula, for the obvious shape. The first but not the last example what a truly dark sky can deliver. Something I can only dream of in the murky skies of the Midlands. Even from southern Sardinia this PN doesn't go much higher than mid-sky so I was quite surprised when it turned out the way it did with around just 1 hours of exposure (unguided and therefore short), being not a particularly bright PN.
