NGC 6886

My favorite thing about NGC 6886 is that its number designation is as palindromic as it the nebula itself. The central star is just barely visible with this processing. It's easy to miss but it somehow shows up in the f555w data even though it's invisible in the other two channels.

 

Corners are missing data.
