Apologies to Steve for the somewhat unscientific rendition of ngc6995 the Bat nebula in the Veil complex. To me it looks more like a one-eyed and one-eared Owl. The choice of filters, Ha, N2 and O3, however has left me clueless as to how best to make use of them. In the meantime my 'arty' side took over. I really had to produce something from that great data while mulling things over.

'twas a scene reminiscent of a play written by my dear late friend William Shakespeare, that was recently enacted in the garden. As in the witches scene, Act 4 of Macbeth, the cauldron was fired up. As soon as it started bubbling I added the only ingredient I had. No snake, eye of newt or toe of frog but I did have that Bat or an Owlet's wing, depending on what you think it resembles. The Bat filter stacks were cast into the pot and after a few stirs I sampled it. Something was definitely missing. 

After much head scratching the answer finally came to me, so I added some brimstone to give the mix a hint of sulphur. Upon resampling the mix it was more to my taste, but it did lack a bit of hydrogen. After chanting a few spells selected from my PixInsight  handbook I felt it was now ready.

Cheers,

Ray, a somewhat batty pier 14 subscriber!
