Wink SH2-132 - "Dumbledore"

This is 29 hours of SH2-132, a faint emission nebula. Rotated 180', it now resembles Dumbledore, or Harry Potter fame. (Helps to keep the kids interested at star parties!) You can see his head, nose, and ear...along with the smoke from the cauldron.

Hi Neil,

I don't know about dumbledore...I haven't seen the shows, but this is a beautiful object, and you've captured and processed it perfectly.
