Description

This is one of the strangest nebula ive seen,it really have the shape of a dolphin.

SH2-308 ,its verly low in the South here,and i have not much time to capture it in a session.

Main part was the O3 layer,i only used a little of Ha,my Baader 3nm filter gives halos around the bright star on the right.
Im planning to get the Astronomik maxFR filters,they should handle  bright stars better.

Overall im very happy with the result,as always whe could use more data.
Greetings All !!!
