Description

I have never captured this little Wolf-Rayet down south from my northern latitudes.  It's a very very low target for me in the Canis Major constellation.  This neat little target is an emissions nebula being energized by a hot central star WR7 about 12,000 light years from earth.  Able to grab a couple hours in RGB.
