Merry Christmas to all! This is my last astrophoto for this year. The flaming star nebula in Auriga. The image taken from a light polluted district of Attiki, Greece.

Great photo and great explanation.

Nice star colours and an unusual looking nebula, Konstantinos. It's not one we're terribly familiar with down here!

Cheers,
Rick.
