NGC 2467 emission region in Puppis. Over the last 3 nights Trish and I quadrupled the previous exposure.

Imagine a rocket ship, nose-cone at top left, multiple ion-drive engines very blue at bottom right. Aboard the rocket is Snoopy, on a trip to the beach. His head is 30% of the way toward 10 o'clock, near the nose-cone. He is wearing a yellow bathing cap. Below his head, and 50% of the way toward 9 o'clock, is his yellow-green coat-hanger, for his clothes. His bright green and very large beach ball is 50% of the way toward 6 o'clock. Sadly, the rocket had caught fire, and there are billows of multi-coloured toxic smoke and flame heading all the way toward 12 o'clock. The paint-work at dead centre is blistered and black. Please wish Snoopy the very best of luck for 2015.
Aspen 16M on 20" PlaneWave CDK on MI-750. Hubble palette. H-alpha 8hrs, OIII 9hrs, SII 10hrs. Note: SII rich regions, mapped to red, will appear yellow, because they tend to overlap with much stronger H-alpha, which is mapped to green.
Cheers,
