For Halloween. Witch in profile looking up. Look at that pointy nose.

It’s hard to believe 900 ly away is relatively close. This one fascinates me 1) because it really looks like the profile of a witch with a pointy nose and 2) because it is illuminated by Rigel in Orion. It is thought to be part of a supernova remnant. This pic simply has to be taken prior to Halloween!
By the way, the witch is in profile looking up to the right.

This is a faint object so having lots of exposure helped. I brightened it up a bit as well.
