Description

This wasn't a target I was originally intending to shoot this winter but the full moon was right next to all the targets I have in the queue so I decided to put some time on this instead.  I was not a big fan of either of these targets initially because one looks like a pig/human hybrid fetus and the other looks a bit like a... nevermind.  Anyway during the processing they both grew on me and I'm pretty happy with the result.  

Also, I didn't realize while I was framing this that I also happened to capture the Bear Claw nebula. It's a new object to me and  I've seen two very nice versions of this recently.

I hope everyone has a nice holiday and a happy new year.
