Description

This is my first attempt at trying to frame creatively. I was hoping to create a sense of the crescent nebula (lower left, an emission nebula) being drawn to the bright star Sadr (upper right). Also in frame are a few open clusters, the most prominent of which are IC1311 in the lower right and NGC 6910 a little up and right from Sadr. And, of course, the sea of nebulosity from the emission nebula representative of the named region.

This data was just ok and restarted many times. I'm sure  this could be made better, e.g. the red artifact next to Sadr, however, as gorgeous as this field is, I've been staring at it a long time and would like to move on to other data.

As always, thanks to @Adam Block for the excellent tutorials. In this particular case, something new I tried was his star reduction technique, which did an excellent job bringing the primary objects to the fore.
