Description

This is a wide view of the upper part of Canis Major constellation, showing the large Seagull Nebula at right, and the smaller Thor's Helmet Nebula at lower left. This is a HOO composition. It is quite apparent by the blue color that Thor's Helmet Nebula has quite a lot of OIII emissions!

This was taken with a ZWO ASI16000MM Pro and filter wheel attached to a Canon 100-400L IS II at 145mm of focal length, wide open (f/5).
