The Thor's Helmet (NGC2359)

To me, a close-up of this nebula rotated 90 degrees to the left just looks like a short-bodied monkey raising its arms and legs in the air at the finish line.
This is my first photo in about three years, and my first from this observatory.
This time, I tried various things to get a clearer view of the structure of the monkey's whiskers and the Ha on its limbs, which was an issue last time.
It looks reasonably visible in SHO, but as the main colour of this nebula is the blue of Oiii, I assigned a large amount of Oiii to B when generating the palette in SHO.

どうしても私には90度左に回転したこの星雲のアップは胴の短いお猿さんがゴールでバンザイしているようにしか見えない。

約3年ぶりの撮影でこの観測所からは初めての撮影。

今回は前回の課題であった猿の顎鬚のあたりや手足のHaを構造をよりクリアに見れるように試行錯誤して見た。

SHOにするとそこそこ見えるが、やはりこの星雲のメインカラーはOiiiの青なので、SHOのパレット生成時にOiiiをBに大量にアサインして見た。
