This image was a challenge as an experiment of how far I can push this scope and camera due to the targets size. The lack of stars around the core suggests a molecular cloud which can be seen and faint in this image. I will be adding more exposures of longer duration for Ha and Oiii data during the next new moon cycle. I hope to capture more of the cloud. This is an interesting target of new star formation nursery.
