Description

This is a 2 panel mosaic showing a wide landscape taking in all the Sharpless objects from 2-86 to 2-90, as well as a lot of dark nebulae culminating in an area which looks to me a bit like a claw.  It's been processed to bring out the contrast between light and dark nebulae, with a strong starfield. I'm not sure why the plate solve isn't working... still investigating, as I can't seem to get ImageSolver to work either, and I'm sure I've got the orientation right!

The single frame (rev A) is the second panel of the mosaic showing  Sharpless2-87, 88 and 90. I wasn't sure whether the mosaic would work out, but I prefer it to this single panel, which on its own is compromised somewhat by the mosaic alignment (Sh2-90 in particular is a bit peripheral!).

The second panel with NGC6820 / Sh2-86 is published separately.
