Description

This is an image of Thor's Helmet, NGC 2359, in Canis Major taken the night of February 12, 2024 from my backyard in the New Mexico Astronomy Village near Deming, New Mexico. It was taken through a Stellarvue SVX180T refractor telescope using a ZWO ASI6200MM camera. The nebula was recorded with 13 exposures of 600 seconds each through Ha and OIII filters. The stars were replaced using 13 exposures of 10 seconds each through RGB filters. The image has been cropped to highlight the nebula.
