Description

Not too many images of this object around - probably none really!

Reminiscent of a middle eastern Hookah Pipe, Check out the Ha smoke ring DEM L99 at 1 o"clock, (how the heck did that form?) and the mini rosette DEM L90 at 2:30.

The base N30 A&B has a strong blue O3 region, which is beautifully contrasted by the big yellow star at the centre -Theta Doradus (Mag 4.80).

It's cool to find & shoot new targets for a change! Let's give this little guy in the LMC some love

Hope you enjoy

Andy
