Wolf-Rayet star WR 22 Nebula

Hi Guys

I like imaging this object. Hope it's entertaining :D.
I did a bunch of NII on it too, but as usual its no different to Ha, so left out. Sometimes NII provides a novel aspect to a pic, but rarely.

49 hrs on a single target is worthy of a compliment on its own; but I also love high res close ups of nebulas. great detail, hubble-esque :P

Wow just stunning Fred. 60min subs in a dark-sky location have exposed some absolutely unbelievable detail!! And great processing too. Well done
