Sharpless 308, a real hidden treasure

[Octane (Humayun)]

Another remarkable image.

The definition, clarity and background hydrogen alpha patches are brilliant.

Can't wait for your next masterpiece.

A wonderful image Marco. That is definitely an object I haven't seen before.

I love the way it's just hanging there in space with an almost 3D feel to it.

This is so stunning Marco, and an object I haven't seen before.
Beautifully executed in all respects!

To boot, it's the result from a Wolf Rayet star, the demise of these rare wonder stars certainly produce some exotic looking ejecta shells as this one shows so beautifully
and dramatically shows.

Thank you for sharing this with us!

I was thinking the same - feels like I'm travelling towards it.

You've lifted the bar, brought a new look to many images and operate at a very high standard. Now you are showing us new objects to image! Cool!

Greg.

Thank you Greg, I really appreciate it, in this forum I found a lot of very skilled amateurs and saw fantastic images, it is a pleasure for me to be here!

Indeed, it is amazing this is an almost unknown target, isn't it?

Suberb, what's not to like? I suspect many will now try to emulate this exceptional image ( self included ) but may find it a very hard act to follow

Visual candy for sure!!

I'm stuck for words too. A really amazing image.

Very nice image Marco. Love the way the bubble looks like it is being pulled to the top right corner. Great rendering of this target.
