Description

I've ignored this object in the past as it is relatively small in my camera but finally decided to give it a go. As it is reasonably bright it did not require too much imaging time and I think the result is fairly passable.

Description: Reprocessed in an effort to improve visibility of the faint outer regions of the nebula that extend out to circa 15 arc min compared with the circa 8 arc min of the bright core region. Looks like I now need to add a few short exposures as the red areas of central region seem somewhat blown out!
