Description

This was shot as part of a larger mosaic in February 2022, and I thought I'd re-process this particular framing, with the main focus on the dark nebula Barnard 37 and its bright neighbour IC447 / IC2169. (not sure why there are two IC catalogue entries - IC2169 is catalogued as bright reflection / emission nebula, IC447 not identified ...).

I've pushed the curves and the saturation, perhaps a bit beyond my normal circumspection!

PS - this link gives a nice explanation of the area and the dual numbers etc. https://www.deepskycorner.ch/obj/ic447.en.php

Revision B: re-processed to improve colour rendition, blue seemed to green, and red too orange. Also re-oriented, and reduced the crop somewhat.
