Description

This is RCW 104, a faint (magnitude 18) emission nebula around the Wolf-Rayet star WR 75 in the southern constellation of Norma.  The image shows the hydrogen, and extremely faint oxygen emissions from the star.  This is a very rarely imaged object, probably because of its southern location and very low surface brightness.
