Description
With one of the more spectacular views in the night sky, Thor's Helmet Nebula (NGC 2359) features a bubble shaped emission nebula. This bubble (containing hundreds of solar masses of ionized material) appears to be getting blown by solar wind coming from the central star. This is a rare type of central star known as a Wolf-Rayet star which runs extremely hot and is thought to be in a pre-supernova stage.
Calibrated images of Thor's Helmet Nebula were provided by iTelescope.net. In addition to providing access to their telescopes, iTelescope.net provides subscribing members with a combination of premium image sets (with the rights to use & post them) and webinars that show how to process them. Itelescope.net captured the images and I did the post-processing with Astro Pixel Processor, Photoshop and Topaz Sharpen AI. Star spikes are natural.
