I'm on a deep sky kick now for the first time. This is 40 photographs of 20 seconds each combined.
The Eskimo Nebula (NGC 2392), also known as the Clownface Nebula,[4] is a bipolar[2] double-shell[5] planetary nebula (PN). It was discovered by astronomer William Herschel in 1787. From the ground, it resembles a person's head surrounded by a parka hood.
(All from Wikipedia.)
This object appears about 1/45th the size of the moon, but of course is fantastically huger. The light from this object travelled for between 1000 to 3000 years (uncertain) before landing on my camera sensor.
