Description

Revisited this object since it happened to be near my last target Melotte 15.

Originally I wanted to get about 20 hours of data but I mistakenly captured the first half of it with gain 75 in Ha and Oiii, which actually may been a happy accident resulting in some more faint detail. Ended up with ~30 hours and captured over 10 nights (9/12, 9/13, 9/15, 9/19, 9/20, 9/21, 9/22, 10/1, 10/3, 10/4).

I tried to emphasize the dark lanes and get some of the Oxygen peeking out from behind the dark clouds of gas on the right side of the image. Wasn't terribly happy with the stars so uploaded a starless version too - curious to hear which one folks prefer.
