Description

Nebula area around LBN 895 and not far from NGC 6866.

Maybe this should be called the Superman Nebula? I liked the "S" shape near the center. These were 10 minute SHO exposures which brought out a lot of detail. In the survey RGB data, the "S" was more prominent.

I originally planned an HOO rendition. It was not very interesting since there isn't much Oiii emission in the area. I added Sii last night. This made the colors pop much better. I pushed the saturation on the nebula and shifted the colors some to make them more intense. Then I added the stars back in with low saturation.
