Description

This beautiful nebula, which for a time was expected to be a supernova remnant, is actually a stellar wind bubble caused by the massive star Wolf-Rayet (HD 192163), which can be seen in the center, this star would also be the responsible for the nebula, which constitutes the material of the outermost layers that the star expelled in the red giant stage.
To process this image, I have taken the color image by separating the three colors and treating them separately until they are put together again in the final image.
