Description

This is my first attempt at a multi panel mosaic.  The folds and ripples surrounding sh2-273 look like red wiped cream.  My favorite part about this image is how  IC 447 with vivid contrasting blue encased in a grey "shell" gives a dynamic contrast of coolness to the overwhelming warm reds dominating the field.  The stars have a large range of colors with blue, red, yellow, and orange with varying vibrancy.

Please have a look at the full resolution image to take in all the details!!!
