The Wolf Nebula (apparently!)

[ollypenrice]

The first from a breathless run of four images captured by Paul Kummer and post-processed by me. This is a two panel, RASA 8/NEQ6/ASI2600MC Pro. It isn't often imaged and is very faint. The red was hardly present at first glance but, after seeing a rendition from the Atacama in which it showed strongly, I went after it big time. (There is a long standing rivalry between the Atacama and Les Granges. ) Whether this red is Ha or ERE (Extended Red Emission) I don't know.

I don't think the person who called it the Wolf was as familiar with this fine animal as we are around here, so it's also LBN917

Minor tweak to the image.

Very nice. I saw this on astrobin and also wondered where that wolf went. But a very fine image, 🐺 or no 🐺
