Description

Also down in the South for me is the famous nebula Thor's Helmet.

It is a favorite one  for me,because i also like the Marvel movies from Thor and it really looks like the helmet.
I took some time to get enough data to see the details in the filamentary structures.
The H-Alpha is not that bright,at least not in the areas around it.

Still it came out well i think.

greetings all john.
