Description

The emission nebula NGC 2359 that can be found in the constellation Canis is also being referred as Thor's Helmet for its remarkable resemblance with the headware of the Norse god of thunder and lightning. 
To honor this deity, I decided to process this image combining Ha and OIII data using the Foraxx color Palette that will help showcasing a more golden aspect of the helmet than a traditional HOO combination.

I hope Thor accepts this offering, be merciful and lift the clouds so I can capture more of the OIII data.
