Description

This interesting emission + reflection nebula in Auriga is thought to be ~1500 light years away.

I had to dial the star reduction back in the second revision so the image could plate solve.

Some RGB data was added to bring out the refelction nebulosity a little and and the colors remapped to try to simulate RGB with the NB data according to http://starizona.com/acb/ccd/software/ps_morenarrow.aspx

The last revision is an attempt to restore a little bit of natural star color based on a suggestion from a CN member.
