#astrophotography The iTelescope.net premium dataset this month was for #Cederblad 211 (AKA R-Aquarii), a Mira-type red giant orbiting a white dwarf. A possible outburst 190 years ago caused this beautiful proto-[planetary #nebula] (not a protoplanetary nebula, haha) to begin forming. Image processed with #AstroPixelProcessor, #Gimp, and #Paint.net. Details in ALT text. You can see the VLT image at https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw1850a/
