| This is a small emission nebula in Perseus. The nebula only measures 3 arc minutes across. I stumbled across this object | |
|
while doing my supernova search in November of 1999. It's not terribly interesting visually but packs quite a punch through a CCD camera. Emission nebula are normally seen as red or pink. Indeed, this one is. But there was a great deal of data in the green layer and I brought that out to show more detail. |
| This nebula reminds me of a bad toupee or a clump of moss. | |
