Description

A medium field (~3.5x5 degrees), anchored by Sh2-261 in the upper left corner, and filled with several other less dramatic, but interesting structures (Sh2-267, 8, & 9) along with the clusters NGC2169 in the middle of the largish fuzzy in the top center, and NGC2194 to the right of center. Extreme log and gamma stretches to bring up the faint features at the expense of near saturation of the "bright" Sh2-261.
