Dr. Seuss Nebula

NGC 3372 is to the southern sky as M42 to the northern (although seen
in the south too) -- everyone has either imaged it or will image it.
It goes without saying that it is one of the premier imaging targets.
That said, since I have a scope in the southern hemisphere I thought
that I had better image it!
I decided on SHO narrowband. Again, I'm new at this medium so if it
doesn't look right just tell me. I think it is sort of pretty --
this color palette reminds me of the colorful eclectic books of Dr.
Seuss.

Tom, I hardly know what to say... this image is truly incredible! I can't imagine anything better. Nicely done, as always.
Cheers,

Boy,is that a beautiful image Tom 8O

You really brought out some nice structure and details deep in this one. What an amazing area of the sky!

The short RGB image is great all by itself too,

Excellent as always Tom,
