Description

Imaged from the Sagrada Observatory, Las Cruces, NM   
Telescope:  24" f8 RC   CCD Camera:  FLI-PL-09000  Gen II Filters

This image of Sh2-301 was acquired over a three day period in an effort to get enough data to process.  Seeing conditions were poor in the 3 to 5 arc sec range.   With limited image data, this RGB image turned out to be more of a test to see what I could reveal in this "dusty" region of the sky.  I might try to re-image this object when seeing conditions improve.
