Description

This image was created in the past year by myself and 3 fellow astrophotographers, Sara Wager, Kees Scherer and Dominique Dierick. It's a mosaic of 8 panels that I started in 2016 and I'm slowly extending to cover more area. For every panel I try at least to get 5 hours of H-alpha data. Sara, Kees and Dominique were so nice to share their data on this region improving the quality of the image in many ways!

The mosaic was generated with the new Astropixelprocessor software which did a great job in processing and mosaicing this image.
