Description

The Sharpless feature of 'interest' turns out to be only the nose of the barely discernible Gecko in this narrow band Ha, OIII, SII image.  The dominant feature is Beverly Lynds Bright Nebula 429 swooping across the field of view.  Hydrogen alpha is red, Oxygen III is cyan, Sulphur II is yellow in this rendering.  A couple of fields were necessary to capture the extent of this HII region.
