Description

I didn't know about the Methuselah nebula until I saw it as the IOTD here https://astrob.in/ri9xxf/0/, so I had to give it a try! This object is unbelievably faint and my equipment and processing skills were barely up to the task. I'm pretty happy with the results considering it was taken during wildfire season. I think I've spent as many hours on smoke forecasts as I did this image! The nebula is processed in the HOO palette with an RGB star field.
