With its deep southern declination of -26 degrees in the constellation of Puppis, this object rises only to a maximum of 19 degrees above the horizon in my current location. Luckily, this object is quite bright (m 7.1) which helps imaging it against the strong light pollution in Bucharest city.
It comprises a great narrowband target, having good signal in H-alpha, OIII and SII.
I processed two versions, one with narrowband channels mixed into the RGB channels, and a SHO Hubble palette version.

The nebula is composed of a large cloud of gas and dust that is being ionized by the intense radiation from young, massive stars in the region. These stars are estimated to be only a few million years old, and are still surrounded by the dusty cocoons from which they formed.
NGC 2467 contains several notable features, including a bright, crescent-shaped emission nebula that is illuminated by the massive star HD 64315, which is located near the center of the region. This star is one of the most luminous stars in the Milky Way, with a mass estimated to be more than 20 times that of the Sun.
The region also contains several dark, dense clouds of gas and dust, which are thought to be the birthplaces of new stars and appear as dark, irregularly shaped patches against the bright background of the emission nebula.
