Description

After seeing the wonderful wide field image by Kevin Morefield and my new observatory mate Curtis Tsai, I was inspired to do a wide field image the same area.  This target was in a good position to image earlier in the night, and I took the Ha while the moon was bright.  

There is a nice mix of dust, emission, and reflection nebula that creates a dynamic palette.  There is also planetary nebula PK093-02.1 in the upper right corner.
