Description

Here's an image of IC 4685 which lies in the constellation Sagittarius about 1.25 deg. northeast of M 8.   It's about 4,000 light-years from Earth.  Also included in this image are NGC 6559, IC 1275, IC 1274, and B91.   The image contains both emission, dark, and reflection nebula and a very dense star clouds.  I processed this in L and RGB and then combined the Ha data into the luminance and the red channel of the RGB image, combining them into the final rendition.
Anyway, hope ya like it!
Tom
