Description

NGC2346, a.k.a.The Eye of Sauron (see The Lord of the Rings, the movies not the book) which, let's admit it, is a bit more fitting than the anodyne description implied by Butterfly Nebula (besides, there are some others out there more deserving the moniker).

This have been on my bucket list for ages until I met a stretch of nights with the right conditions to go for it, as it is sitting prettily on the celestial equator which does NOT make for easy imaging conditions up here.
