It's been a while since I've imaged one of my all-time favourite targets, SH2-308 or the Dolphin Head Nebula. This celestial marvel, nestled within the constellation Canis Major, is a testament to the universe's awe-inspiring beauty and the transient nature of stellar evolution. The nebula's distinctive bubble-like shape, reminiscent of a dolphin's head, is sculpted by the powerful stellar winds of the central Wolf-Rayet star, EZ Canis Majoris. This massive star, nearing the end of its life, sheds its outer layers, creating a breathtaking display of ionized hydrogen gas that glows with a vibrant hue.
