Cool!

When I look at the side-by-side-view then I notice that the center whitish cloud shifts a bit.

Is this cloud on the move or is this a parallax because the picture is taken from a slightly different position?

good thinking but its absolutely not parallax. not enough distance in earths orbital diameter to do that with this nebula.
