Description

NGC 246, known as the Skull Nebula is a planetary nebula in Cetus. This was not an easy one to capture, largely due to dealing with adverse weather and many rejected subframes. Notably, the Ha in this nebula is very faint compared to the OIII. Regardless, PNs are often more forgiving due to their small size and so I still had a decent result in the end.
Until next time, Clear Skies
