About this image

Hubble's variable nebula. The variations have been well studied so I don't look at it very often. Looked this time to see if the faint jet away from R Mon had reappeared yet. Answer: no.

It is a pretty object and here imaged through thin cloud...

Shame about the slightly distorted star images.
