Now that the month of
            May has arrived, its time to start posting some of our latest
            Spring shots. At 400 arcseconds, this is a sizeable planetary
            nebula. Known informally as the Headphone Nebula, this large
            object shows both red halpha and blue/green OIII emissions. Several
            faint galaxies are in the background. Few planetaries are large
            enough for us to shoot with our fast focal ratio 10 inch, this
            is one of those few!
