Pièce de résistance!

Just when you thought it was safe to look at images again, I post this...thing...

Apparently it is NGC 2736 "Pencil Nebula". Apparently. I am not entirely convinced. I think the plate solver might be drunk.

I used every conceivable trick I know in PI and PS to even extract this much poor detail and definition. It is stretched and manipulated and pixel mathed this far merely to show SOMETHING for my irreplaceable hour. If I go as far as Rick with this ( ) remains to be seen.

Another BRILLIANT target choice for an 85mm telescope
