Faces? Faces!!

[MarkInSpace]

Pareidolia (pronounced "par-i-DOH-lee-a") is a brain phenomenon in which a person can sees faces in inanimate objects, such as an image of the Virgin Mary in grilled cheese.
Probably the most famous astro-Pareidolia is the witch nebula, but I think there are quite a few other good examples around!
Here is a face in profile from NGC3327 that I imaged in a lapse in the clouds last night.
8 x 300s for each of SHO
GSO 250mm F4
Do you have any other examples of faces?

Great shot, very cool Mark :thumbsup: The king of Pareidolia, the late, great and stupendously gifted, Mike Berthon Jones (https://mikeberthonjones.smugmug.com/browse/), would be very proud of you mate :prey2: :thumbsup:

As a strong proponent of the art of seeing things that aren't really there, myself :whistle:, I will contribute this one (https://pbase.com/strongmanmike2002/image/140710554/original)

That is great Mark, the more you look at it the more it materialises, well done indeed.
