Description

This was a tough one.  I didn't realize how faint this target was and how absolutely buried in stars it is.    This is the result of almost 15 hours of exposure and I just can't push it much further without being overwhelmed with noise. Regardless I think it is a fair image. 

I'll definitely be revisiting this target with the narrowband rig in the future

I spotted a couple tiny planetary nebula in there while I was working on this and explored Simbad a bit to find them. They are PN M 2-51 and PN G102.9-02.3
