Description

For those that are familiar with the Marvel franchise, this orientation and representation of the more commonly known Rosette nebula will make a lot of sense!
Since I've seen the skull I can no longer look at this nebula any other way nor image in any other orientation.

With my own take in colour and visualisation this looks a lot like The Spirit of Vengeance and portrayed as such.
Legend has it that the Norse God and the Hunter on either side are the only ones holding it back from cosmic domination!!

On a more technical note, this image consists of 17 hours of data across multiple nights as it was more of a fill in target given I have imaged this before.
