BBW-56 Halloween's Ghost Nebula

So much earlier in the year I was looking for a fill-in target, and after surfing around some Ha sky surveys, I settled on this unique looking Hydrogen Alpha formation in Puppis.

It immediately struck me as looking like a low-budget Halloween Ghost costume, hence the nick-name I've given it. The designation of BBW-56, I got much more recently after seeing that Logan Carpenter has also imaged this region.

I've been sitting on this image for over 6 months, as I was never happy with my original attempt as processing, so I had go at reprocessing it again, and the improvement in my proficieny with PixInsight and processing in general over that time has shocked (and delighted) even me.

Thanks for looking and Clear Skies!

Check it out on Astrobin!

I like the definition of this image. Framing is really nice too.
