Description

My SkyWatcher 72ED seems to frame up many objects just perfectly and this is one of them. There are so many interesting things going on here - the wavy wall making up the wings, the incredibly dark and distinct stripe forming the mouth, and the wildly bright star-forming region on the right wingtip. This was my first time playing around with the Foraxx color palette - I tend to like more red than gold, so I think this palette suits me better than attempting something Hubble-like.
