Hi Jase
Okay, after a good night’s rest I’m sufficiently recovered to have a look at your second offering, Thor’s Helmet. Much like haute cuisine, I just couldn’t digest more than one of these amazing images at one sitting and do them justice.
The first and most obvious feature that struck me was simply the size of the main subject; I have always seen this object as a relatively small target in a large field so I was astonished to see the Helmet filling my screen. The next characteristic that leaps out was the extraordinary detail in the structure of the nebula – this has to be the best image of this object ever produced, or at least that I have seen.
The detail in the helmet and the horns is breathtaking and I love the “lace” effect where the background stars are shining through the tendrils that make up the “veil” of the main helmet.
Now that you have finished with your close up of this fascinating object, be sure to return it to its original location, some 15,000 light-years away!
Cheers
Dennis
