NGC 1931, the Fly Nebula (left side) is an emission and reflection nebula, and has been referred to as a miniature version of the Orion Nebula, as it shares some of the same characteristics. There is a smaller version of M42's "Trapezium" in the hot, young star cluster in the centre of the emission nebula. It is about 3 arcmins in size and is 4000 - 7000 light years from Earth.
IC 417, the Spider Nebula (center right) is an emission nebula and star forming region. The nebula contains a young open cluster (Stock 8), and is energized by its hot, massive blue stars which are still embedded in glowing hydrogen gas. The bluish clouds of gas at the top of the image are locations of new star formation.

After we did the post-processing separately, we couldn't decide which version we should take as our final image.
That's how it came, that we started a little poll among our Astro-friends, to determine a "winner" for the Final Version.
Make sure to also take a closer look at the other images, each one has its strengths.
