Thor's Helmet Nebula - NGC 2359
I've been doing astrophotography for about 3 years now. I joined Telescopes Live yesterday (01/15/22) in hopes of getting shots that would otherwise be impossible for me to get due to age and location. I am so glad I did. I found an observation bundle on NGC 2359 that I could work with. This is the result I got. Thanks so much!
