Description:
Sharpless 308-The Dolphin Nebula. This beautiful nebula is located near the center of the constellation Canis Major. It is a bubble of mostly ionized oxygen formed around the Wolf-Rayet type star EZ Canis Majoris. These rare high energy stars form many similar bubbles we enjoy observing. In the sky this is found just a little below the brightest star in our night sky-Sirius. This image is from Southern Hemisphere data acquired using the Telescope Live remote hosting facility.
