Description

Taken from Pixelskies through various nights in January, this is a 2x2 mosaic of a fairly colourful region of Monoceros. Located between Fox Fur/Christmas Tree/Cone Nebula area  and the  Rosette Nebula, i think this doesn't get as much attention as it deserves.

This is purely LRGB and I have tried to not to darken the background too much in order to preserve the red channel, but still leave prominence to the main target - IC2169. 

This image is a total of 131x300" L, 92x180" R, 106x180" G and 108x180" B.

Thanks for looking
