Description

Sh2-308 is an emission nebula formed by gas ejected from the Wolf-Rayet star EZ Canis Majoris. My image is a combination of H-alpha and OIII, with RGB data for stars. The color contrast between the blue-green of the nebula and the yellowish glare from Omicron1 Canis Majoris makes the slight extra effort to add RGB stars especially worth the effort for this object.
