Description

I definitely had to go deep on this one.   Looking at my first 5 minute sub I really didn't think I had anything that I could work with.  With an extreme stretch I could just make out the faint outline of this nebula.  Looking at some of the shots on Astrobin, I thought it was worth putting into the rotation in Voyager.   A few hours of gathering each clear night finally started to reveal some of the detail here.   I'm glad I stuck with this one.
