Thor's Helmut NGC 2359 in Canis Major

Planetary Nebula in Canis Major. Taken at Tehachapi, Ca. in January 2014. This object reminds me of football referee giving the field goal signal. The faint planetary nebula PN G227.1+00.5 is barely visible toward the top of this image (mouse over image). Details: NP127is at f4.1; Atik 383L+ at -18 deg C; Orion EQ-G mount;TS OAG; Astrodon 3nm filters: Ha(2hrs:20min(20min subs));SII(2hrs:20min(20min subs));OIII(2hrs(20min subs)).
