Description

Open cluster Messier 46 with Planetary Nebula NGC 2438, which I have seen dubbed the "Smoke Ring" at times.  Off to the right center edge is a small brown "blob".  That is the Planetary Nebula Minkowski 1-18.  

This was assembled from png's using Astro Pixel Processor, then cropped and finished in Pixinsight..  Twenty panels of 2 minutes each through the L-Pro filter.
