Description

I've wanted to capture this emission nebula for awhile now. 6000 light-years away from Earth and around 250 light-years across, it just barely fits in the CDK17 FOV. Besides Blurx, Noisex and some other typical steps, this needed very little post-processing. (a tribute to Martin Pugh's CDK @ El Sauce in Chile) 

Now, if someone has coordinates for the Scampi Nebula, please send em over :-)
