Description

I chose this region for my August 2023 new moon target because the dark nebulae and dust clouds were accented by colorful streaks of red emission nebulae, a planetary nebula, and bright stars.  

Unlike my recent collaboration with @Kevin Morefield on the Cocoon Nebula where he collected a large amount of luminance data with an FSQ106 to supplement the RH200 data, this vdB152 dataset is solely from an RH200.  As a result, optical artifacts such as trefoil stars and severe drop off in illumination are quite apparent in the corners of the full frame sensor. The RH200 may be a dust bucket but it doesn't have a flat field!
