Description

Continuing to search for less appreciated nebular targets, I came across Sh2-261, Lower’s Nebula, northeast of Orion. Its overall structure has been imaged numerous times. However, in its core I found unexploited nebular complexity and beauty. Enjoy this high resolution image of the heart of Lower’s in HST palette.
