Great Ball of Blue (and Green)
Like The Eskimo Nebula, NGC 7662 is a challenging target
with extremely small details. Its inner region is dominated by a relatively smooth torus with only hints of filamentary structures
in the very center. While the data is comprised of only 30 minutes in each color, it is possible to detect the outer halo of this planetary nebula.
