The image is a 3 hour exposure done in Hydrogen Alpha using a Tele Vue NP127is telescope with a 2X powermate and a QSI583wsg CCD camera on a CGE PRO mount. I took the image from Calgary Alberta. Camera control and preprocessing was done through ImagesPlus. Processing was done through PixInsight with final touch-up, as required, through Photoshop. Guiding was through PHD2 and a Lodestar camera. This image brings home to me the amount of smoldering energy being released in the final stages of a star’s life.
