This nebula was apparently named after a Chilean Nobel prize winner for Literature.
It is supposed to resemble her ? This B&W photo on wiki is probably the closest resemblance due to her hair style

As well as taking pretty pictures it’s nice to look into the origins , history and composition of the object your imaging.

Nice capture by the way , one of my favourites, just behind the Prawn nebula

Well done !!

Pity us coastal huggers are starved of clear nights ( only 2 nights in the past month or so )

La Niña must be lingering
