Description

CG30-31 is a rich cometary globule complex in Puppis.  The Telescope Live Data is from last year, and I combined the Haloha and R data in the ratio 50:50. Keep to follow this up with my own telscope once the nights get a little longer here.

It seems a shame that such wonderful AP targets as CG30-31 should have such a dull name.  They rather remind me of the the hooded wraiths "The Nazgul" in the LoTR movies.  With a bit of a stretch, I can even imagine nine of them in this image.
