Robin's Egg Nebula

This image is of NGC1360 (Robin's Egg Nebula) located in Fornax. The image was acquired with the RC12, STXL and AOX

I found it interesting to go quite deep on this image. There are loads of background galaxies of various morphologies and distances.

The actual nebula shows hydrogen jets (?) one quite faint at the lower end and one brighter. Also some of the shells are evident too.

Image integration consists of Ha OIII LRGB totalling 33.8 hours. Further integration would have shown the lower jet better and more faint galaxies. Perhaps another time.
