Looks #fake compared to other views of NGC246. Provide NASA reference or delete the post.

10s vs 120s of the Skull Nebula. AKA NGC 246. My first time imaging it. Looks cool and smaller than I thought.

🔭 NGC 246 – Hmlovina Lebka v súhvezdí Veľryby, vzdialená asi 1 600 svetelných rokov. Ide o planetárnu hmlovinu, ktorú vytvorila umierajúca hviezda.

Alas, poor Yorick! However, this is not a dull Skull but a beautiful colorful nebula. The Skull Nebula NGC-246

おはようございます(*´ω｀)
週末の金曜日、今日も一日頑張りましょう！
早い所ではもうお休みでしょうが、多くの会社が今日で仕事納めと思われます
が、勤労意識が強すぎる我が社は最後まで土曜出勤があったりするのです( ﾉД`)ｼｸｼｸ…
取引先も休みなのですから休んでもええやん(´・ω・`)

NGC246
惑星状星雲で、形からパックマンとかどくろ星雲と呼ばれています
緑っぽい色ですが、もうちょっと青色が本来の色合いみたいです
中心の星は二重星との事です
惑星状星雲は大きいものこそ少ないですが、全天で探すとそれなりの数があったりします

Here’s a quartet of southerly deep sky objects that were among the many targets I shot from Arizona last October. They are: the globular cluster M22, the odd planetary nebulas NGC1360 and NGC246, and the edge-on galaxy NGC55.

「たのしい惑星状星雲」。NGC246をチリ・リモートで撮影。「私たちの太陽のような」「ごく普通の星が迎える最期の姿」「寿命はおよそ千年から数万年」。長い星の一生からすると「瞬間の姿」。「実に様々な姿」「とても面白いです」。
「天文はかせ幕下」よりピックアップ。

どくろ星雲(NGC246)　昨夜の満月の中UV,IRカットフィルターのみのBORG76ED（SV08ｘ）SV605CCで撮影した画像と以前撮影した画像をスタックして総露出３時間１６分１５秒！さすがにこの位露出するとS/Nが上がりますね

Forgot I also went to observe #c56 / #ngc246 #theskullnebula. #seestar #s50 #space #astronomy #amateur
C56 / NGC 246 The Skull Nebula - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. The Skull Nebula (NGC 246 / C56) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Cetus, about 1,600 light-years away. It's the ejected outer layers of a dying star, illuminated by a triple-star system at its core. C56 / NGC 246 The Skull Nebula - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. It's nicknamed the Skull Nebula due to its uncanny shape in telescopes, but its glowing gas is illuminated by the first-known triple-star system at its heart.

Last image tonight for the Odyssey Pro. Went to observe #c56 / #ngc246 #theskullnebula. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur
C56 / NGC 246 The Skull Nebula - telescope processed image. NGC 246 is the first known planetary nebula with a hierarchical triple star system at its heart, featuring a white dwarf and two smaller companions. C56 / NGC 246 The Skull Nebula - unprocessed image. It is nicknamed the "Skull" because of its hollowed-out appearance and "bloodshot" gas clouds of hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue).

Only comparison between the Odyssey Pro and the s50 for today. 10 minute observations of #ngc246 #theskullnebula. Even though the duration is about 10 minutes, the Odyssey Pro stacks images each 4 second while the s50 stacks them at 10 seconds. #unistellar […]

NGC 246 The Skull Nebula - processed image by the Odyssey Pro. NGC 246 (The Skull Nebula) is a large, planetary nebula in Cetus. It's the gaseous remnant of a dying Sun-like star with a triple-star system at its center. NGC 246 The Skull Nebula - processed image by the s50. This planetary nebula, nicknamed the Skull Nebula, is the first known to have a hierarchical triple-star system at its center.

Processing managed to bring something out in this shot of the Skull Nebula NGC 246 that had apparently been washed out by the Moon, but I expect it will benefit from a shot under better skies. Note NGC 255 in the upper left corner. #ngc246 #ngc255
