Celestial Fish (NGC 2467)

Here is my addition to the run of NGC2467 images presented lately. A modified Hubble SHO palette comprised of approximately 30 hours of data.

The nebula is referred to as the skull and cross bones nebula for reasons which escape me. In the orientation as presented here I think that it looks like a celestial fish swimming along in the constellation of Puppis. However, my wife says that it looks like a shoe with a large heal and pointy toe pointing to the left of the screen. I not sure if there is something I should be following up on that one

It was fun playing with the colour mixing on this though given that I'm relatively new to the narrowband processing, constructive feedback is welcome.
