Description

This is from data gathered early this past summer that has been reprocessed using the Photometric Color Calibration tool in PixnSight.  The nebula really stands out and contrasts nicely with the dark dust nodules within the cloud.   The indigo color was a nice surprise and adds depth and brightness to this image.
