The iTelescope.net premium dataset this month was for 211 (AKA R-Aquarii), a Mira-type red giant orbiting a white dwarf. A possible outburst 190 years ago caused this beautiful proto-[planetary ] (not a protoplanetary nebula, haha) to begin forming. Image processed with , , and .net. Details in ALT text. You can see the VLT image at eso.org/public/images/potw1850
