Description

I was intrigued by the combination of a dark nebula and a relatively high Ha intensity. Unfortunately, the clouds did not cooperate to allow me to acquire the broadband frames during the darkest part of the evening after moonset last week. So some moonlight crept into the frames and really hampered my ability to create some contrast between the dark nebula and the clear portions of the star field. I'll try to get this back on the schedule in the future when I have more dark sky to work with. But since this is an infrequently targeted nebula here on Astrobin, I decide to share the work as it exists today.
