Description

NGC2237 in the Unicorn Constellation
captured from my backyard Bortle 9

I call it the Maxillofacial Nebula since we clearly see the human anatomy of the orbit.
The inferior and superior orbital fissure are  found at the depth of the cavity like structure
The zygomatico-frontal suture and the greater wing of the sphenoid bone are striking.
The nasal cavity , pyrofirm rim and septum makes it absolutely authentic.

Must be my job which affects greatly my perception...
