Description

This took forever to process because of all the satellite trails in every sub-exposure. In the end I used a combination of the Hartmut Bornemann script "SKill" (Satellite Killer) and then Clonestamp at the end for any annoying artifacts remaining.

There's a lot going on in this image - not just the NGC and vdB objects but also a few LDN objects - this is quite a cloudy piece of sky!

The main object in teh frame is NGC2170 (Angel Nebula) which is a reflection nebula discovered by William Herschel in 1784.
