Description

This is a widefield image of the Spider Nebula (IC 417), Fly Nebula (NGC 1931), and a bit of the Tadpoles Nebula (IC 410) in the lower right corner.

I'm happy with how this image turned out, especially considering that my neighbor decided to set off leftover fireworks from New Year's Eve - which filled the sky with smoke intermittently for about 20 minutes . I could barely see any stars, but somehow my autoguider stayed locked on for the duration. When reviewing my subs, the worst didn't look all that bad, so I included them. Who knows - maybe it helped a little!

This was actually processed 100% in Photoshop; for some reason my Pixinsight workflow didn't pick up as much nebulosity as PS did.
