Description

Just under 10,000 light years away, in the constellation Perseus, lurks NGC 1491. This nebula is known as the Fossil Footprint Nebula. This is my second image to incorporate a Sulpher II filter which really captured the highlights at the core. 45 5-minute Ha/Oii exposures (Optolong l-eXtreme), 15 5-minute RGB and 15 5-minute Sulpher II.
