3 am ! now thats dedication!
nice shots.now NGC 2440 is a new one for me so I had to google it to find out more
..from APOD
"The above cocoon, the planetary nebula designated NGC 2440, contains one of the hottest white dwarf stars known. The white dwarf can be seen as the bright dot near the photo's center. Our Sun will eventually become a "white dwarf butterfly", but not for another 5 billion years"
so that's what our Sun is going to look like in future..luckily plenty of time to read the newspaper and finish a few cups of coffee before that happens
