Hi all,

An image of the Skull Nebula, NGC 246, has been uploaded. This Nebula is rather small, 4 arcmin in size, but show a great deal of fine structure. The highly cropped image, in a try to show better the details, indeed shows the faint OIII filaments. The central star, a white dwarf, is not a single but a triple system. You can find the image and all details at:

NGC 246. Skull Nebula

Enjoy,
Josep
