NGC 2359 Thor's Helmet

I took this image earlier this year.
I hope to redo it as seeing conditions for not very good.

Steven,

Thanks for sharing! I visited your site and came across NGC 2164/56/59/72... first time I see them, what an awsome sight!

Fantastic image!

This is really quite a good image. Thor's Helmet is probably tougher for us here up north because it's low and seeing is _always_ getting us into trouble. Anyehwere in the US, this would bea fabulous shot. The stars are smaller and tighter than I've ever managed on this object, and your color is really outstanding. Also, you are deep enough to show some of the more intresting brightness level differences to be found here (which are exceedingly subtle).

In other words, I like it quite a bit.
