Description

ASA N12 f/3.5 STL11000M HaRGB 210:120:80:120minutes; unbinned Ok, this is not the official common name for this nebula (it doesnt have one), but to me it looks like two dolphins jumping (the larger has nose, dorsal fin, right and left flippers). The larger one has a ball (vdB62) balanced on its head. vdB63 is just below its right flipper.
