Description

There's not many images of this nebula on Astrobin... or anywhere else for that matter.  It's a fairly large, but faint HII nebula.  I had to increase the color saturation to even see much.  I was a bit surprised by the reddish color, but perhaps I shouldn't be because of the HII.  I may try to gather more photons on another clear night.  Maybe there is more to see.
