Description

This is my take on NGC 1491 (LBN 704 or Sharpless 206), also called the Fossil Footprint Nebula.Shot in narrowband and processed in the SHO palette; I have allowed myself some artistic licence on this one to bring out some of the structural detail. Shot with an almost full Moon about 30o away.
