Description

Version A:   The Seagull Nebula holds many deep space treasures.  I was also pleased to get Thor's helmet in the same field.

Version B is rotated 180 degrees and cropped in to highlight the nice emission cloud details, the Seagull Head (Gum 1 / SH2-292), and a curious Stellar Bow Shock Wave created by HIP 34301HIP 34301.   I found a great video done by James Lamb that you can learn all about this particular shock wave here...    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX6t8V8hcEo

 Version C is starless just for fun.  I love the subdued brooding feeling.  Space it is supposed to be dark right?
