Jones-Emberson 1

            I present Jones-Emberson 1, aka, the Headphone nebula, a beautiful little planetary nebula discovered by a woman astronomer, Rebecca Jones in 1939.
When a small star like our Sun begins to use up its hydrogen fuel at the end of its life, it collapses into a much smaller star and its outer gases expand in a roundish shell into space all around it. Now this small star in the centre is so hot, its ultraviolet light energizes the surrounding gas and makes it glow emitting these beautiful colours that we can photograph. 
It's interesting to imagine that in billions of years from now, a distant astronomer on another planet in our galaxy can see our Sun looking like this. The little blue star in the middle being the remnant of a very special star that was host to a very special planet.
Taken with my Ceravolo 300mm astrograph at f/4.9 and an SBIG Aluma 3200 CCD camera. 
A total of 10 hours of data using red, green, blue filters  for the correct star colour and hydrogen-alpha, nitrogen and oxygen filters to better display the structure of the nebula.
