Description

Been playing with the data and this is the result so far. A little intense, perhaps, but I am trying to preserve both the general nebulosity and also the blue stars in M 38. The objects in the FOV include NGC 1931 Been playing with the data and this is the result so far. A little intense, perhaps, but I am trying to preserve both the general nebulosity and also the blue stars in M 38. The objects in the FOV include NGC 1931 [small in upper left, IC 417 [below NGC 1931...these are often called The Spider and the Fly.  M 38 is the prominent cluster of blue stars center'ish, upper right, and NGC 1907 the small open cluster in the rough FOV center.
