Lol, you're not the first to suggest that Raki
Thanks for nice compliment but I think Indiana Jones is far for iconic

Cheers Trevor, can you imagine the forces that once created this beast? Must have been a helluva big bang when that star went nova!

I imaged it very widefield over the weekend and I'll post that in the next few days. Its quite a striking area.
Well done on such a good image of a rarely if ever imaged object (strange its missed the attention of astrophotographers).
Did you do any O111? I wonder if it has any O111 or is it all Ha? Come to think of it I have O111 data of the area. I'll have to check it.
Yeah definitely do the other half. Its likely the Southern Hemisphere's Heart nebula.
Greg.

Hi Greg, thanks for good vibes, looking forward to seeing your rendition. I havn't attempted any O3 as yet - will be interesting to see if you managed to get any. As to the other half, well ... it's not going anywhere in a hurry, but my patience might

Thanks very much Paul - I asked my kids what they thought it looked like - hence the name, Paradolia rocks

I actually thought it resembled the flame whip from Balrog from LOTR.

Cheers Bo
Funnily enough we've been re-watching LOTR with the kids all this week - I see the Balrog reference clearly now that you mention it!
Hmmm
- Balrog's Whip, Flame whip - nah - let's stick with Indy
