Description

Located in the constellation Vulpecula, NGC 6823 is a small open cluster of stars associated with a large emission nebula known as NGC 6820.
Wiki:
Open star cluster NGC 6823 is about 50 light-years  across and lies about 6,000 light-years away. The center of the cluster formed about two million years ago and is dominated in brightness by a host of bright young blue stars.
The most striking feature  is the trunk like pillar of dust and gas protruding from the east side of the nebula towards the open cluster in the center.

The blue area in the center is composed of faint Oiii. It took a lot of trickery to bring the blue to life, I used the Oiii master as a mask to remove red and green and then pulled the blue out with CurvesTransformation.  The shade of blue isn't what I was hoping for but for now it will do.

Revision E:
I couldn't get the blue to look right so I reprocessed it and didn't pull the  blue out.
