"Emu Falls"

In Australian Indigenous culture the dark dust lanes within the band of the Milky Way form an Emu with the head located near the Southern Cross (top right of image) and then the neck running down to the body and legs within the central bulge of the Milky Way.

Thanks for showing us Weiburger's planetary nebula in RGB+Ha, Paul! Previously, you have showed us a fascinating portrait of this nebula in narrowband.

The planetary nebula itself is certainly very interesting! Not many planetaries are as perfectly round as this one.
