Description

I managed, before the weather turned again, to just about get this image on the single night afforded to me. Some of the subs were not too great but I scraped 150 of them, together. Within the image we have the fox fur nebulous region and I am convinced that the 'cone' looks a little like a pig or a hog - part of the nebulosity creates its ears, especially on the lower side. So a fox and a pig in one image... I bet you I am the only one who can see the pig! Anyway, I published this because it is unlikely I will get the OIII data any time soon, and so I thought it was better to post something rather than nothing. Take care all of you. Thanks. Simon
