Description

A very interesting area with emission, reflection, and dark nebulae. Plus, a distant and very old open cluster between NGC 2245 and the Cone. At first, I though there was a problem with my red channel as the cluster came out quite orange. Apparently this color isn't too far off as the stars are old and obscured by dust. Next time out, I plan on adding HII to improve the detail around the Cone. L 20x120s, RGB 8x120s.
