Description

The 'Eskimo' nebula is an intricate bipolar, double-shell planetary nebula, where an outer shell of stellar material blown off a dying star, contains multiple bubbles of gas expanding at a phenomenal rate [hubblesite.org].

Beyond the outer shell, none of this detail is visible in my image, based on 20 mins exposure, at f6.3. I will try this again at f10, and will need to layer multiple exposures to try to expose the face inside the hood.
