This page shows a spectrogram of the NGC2392 (Eskimo Nebula) and an intensity profile provided from it. The profile shows four emission lines from the Balmer series, from Hα to Hδ, of hydrogen atoms. And you can recognize that the nebula includes extraordinary strong two emission lines from the ionized oxygen atoms of O III relative to those from the Balmer series. The normal optical images of the nebula show greenish color, which is consistent with the spectrogram that hardly includes Hα composition in red light.
