Description

JE1, as is known colloquially amongst friends, is a huge, mean ..... of a PN. There are various nicknames for it , oddly enough they seems to have something to do with telephones of the old varieties, but for me is and always will be the Yin-Yang Nebula. I went after it several times in the years past to no success (sometimes I felt like I was imaging the Void) until at last I dropped any pretension of high(er) resolution and went to the bin2x2 side. Since I was scrapping the bottom of data barrel for this one I had to go through several noise reduction stages, as it shown in the image. But at least I got it to my undying satisfaction.
