Description

Spanning the image are open clusters NGC2423 (upper left), M47 (top middle) and M46 (bottom right) forming a loose triangle. Another dimmer open cluster NGC2425 is also visible 4 o'clock off M47. Its rare to have multiple evident clusters within a single field. There are two planetary nebulae present, the brighter PK231+04.2 which sits within the boundary of M46 and PK231+04.1 which lies 8-9 o'clock off M46.

Two sets of data were used, RGB for the stars and dual band Ha+Oiii for the planetary nebulae.
