Description

I always loved this target because of the faint dust surrounding the nebula and its colorful starfield. I have tried this in widefield but didn't shoot in long focal length (in LRGB).  My objective was to try and get details on the faint dust in front of the nebula. There is also plenty of dust in the field. 
We had clear weather the last couple  of days and I was able to shoot this all night (given its position, it works well as a full night target).

Integration:
L - 32x10 minutes (Shot 64 in fact, but high clouds took out a bunch of them) 
R/G/B - 12x10 minutes per channel

Thanks for looking and C&C welcome!
