Description

This object is a great Rorschach test.  In portrait as shown, I think it looks like a waterfall.  Used the H-alpha luminance technique shown in this video.  Did not use Starnet++ to remove stars.  The blue glow from AE Aurigae adds depth and variation in colors.  Near the core we see a combination of reflection and emission.
