Description

The emission nebula NGC456 in the constellation Tucana. A rather faint emission nebula embedded in a rich star field on the edge of the Small Magellanic Cloud (the nebula isn't even in our galaxy!). The H-alpha and [OIII] were well represented but [SII] was only present in trace amounts so not a lot of yellow/gold in this image. Represented in SHO Hubble palette with RGB stars.
