Description

I have always liked this area.  The "shock wave" area and the squiggle of dust are very interesting.  However, as I processed it the dust on the right side and how it interacts with the hydrogen and oxygen gases, really became my focus.  The background is brighter than normal as it is very star filled, and I wanted to keep some detail in the dust regions.  I processed this set of data more than probably any other dataset that I have worked with and learned a lot to refine my processing approach.

I hope that you enjoy it.
