Description

Although riding high in the night sky, this area suffers from sitting above the heavy light pollution dome of London to the north.  Had to contend with heavy gradients but enough exposure yielded good results from my location.  Usual tandem setup controlled by Voyager Advanced.

This is a fantastic object and field full of other background objects; check the annotated image.

There are plenty of examples of this area on Astrobin; particularly impressive is rallyho's version from China which includes Ha data for the streamers that traverse the dust. 

I was impressed by the ability of the ASI2600MC to capture the planetary/reflection nebula GN22.17.7 and some of the stronger Ha signal.
