Description

The Medusa Nebula is a planetary nebula in the constellation of Gemini.
It is also known as Abell 21 and Sharpless 2-274.
It was originally discovered in 1955 by University of California, Los Angeles astronomer George O. Abell,
who classified it as an old planetary nebula.
Until the early 1970s, the nebula was thought to be a supernova remnant. (wikipedia)

With clouds rolling in at home last week and this week, I was able to get only 2 nights to image this so I concentrated on Ha and OIII,
to create the HOO image.
Hope you enjoy.
