Description

Imaged in one night between two telescopes:

CDK20 + Moravian C5 for 18x600sec Ha
AP 12" mak cass + ASI6200mm 50x60sec each R G B for stars

The nebula is of course not blue and the eyes/nose and stick arms are not actually in space ;)

The more accurate rendition is in the second revision

It's a nice alternative to the popular christmas tree nebula this time of year in the northern hemisphere
