Description

Sharpless2-171 is an emission nebula which is part of NGC 7822, in the constellation of Cepheus.

It is often called the "teddy bear nebula", however viewed in SHO from this rotation it looks like a screaming skull, or the head of the Balrog from lord of the rings!

Perfect for Halloween.
