The Ghosts Of Jupiter

This image is of NGC3242 or more commonly known as the Ghost of Jupiter. I called it the Ghosts of Jupiter for what I think are obvious reasons. There appears to be several outbursts which form a series of faint halos which surrounds the planetary. It also appears that the larger cloud below the planetary in this image is related too. Finally to add to the scene there are a number of back ground galaxies which add a bit more interest.

The image is a total of 29 hours integration with Ha, OIII and LRGB. I took some short subs to give definition to the core. Although I think 30 second subs were too long. It probably needs to be about 10 seconds each to give really good definition of the core.
