Description

A rarely imaged area in Lynx Constellation, LBN 801 and 811 only have maybe half a dozen images listed on Astrobin.   Until Mike over at @Insight Observatory provided me with the dataset, I had never heard, nor seen this are before, but it's certainly within reach of my own home telescope as well!    Another difficult target to process, tons of faint dust obscuring dozens of faint background galaxies.   On my first round, I accidently blew out alot of the details in those beautiful structures.   One of my favorites is a small spiral, PGC 22915 standing out on the left side of the frame.   By mistake, I had almost cropped this little guy out.     There are plenty more small galaxies to spy around.    I kept the original resolution as the final revision just for this purpose.

Hope you enjoy the image.   Data originally taken by Insight Affiliate @Alpha Zhang.    Big thanks to him and Mike over at @Insight Observatory for keeping me busy during this rainy month.  Tons of projects falling behind over the past few weeks.
