Description

I noticed Gary Imm's rendition of this small complex PN and thought it would be a good target for my new Edge 11 (same scope as his).  I used Alex Woronow's Narrow Band Assistant and Spectrophotometric color correction, so these are the real colors as far as I can tell.  Processing is now my standard BlurX -> NoiseX -> GHS (Symmetry Point set to the O-III cloud on the outside edge) and final light NoiseX.  No saturation.

There is a lot of hydrogen alpha in the background and this shows up in the little jets. 

There is also a nice description on Cloudy Night's.  Where I found a nice image of the background H-alpha.  If I stretched the image more all this would come out to the detriment of the PN.
