Good evening, Rallypoint, and welcome to this Saint Patrick's Day edition of Astronomy Picture of the Day.

NGC 2359 (aka Thor's Helmet) has been featured in numerous APODs, but this deep image (25 hours exposure time) may take the cake. Shows what is possible from a back yard.

It's amazing what 'cooking' does over a 25 hour period. This rivals a slow cooked brisket for beauty, but not taste.
