Description

Just one night of OSC subs. I processed the nebulosity and stars separately to decrease the star size and maintain their color.
I might use the stars for a future duo narrowband project...

About the target:
NGC 281, IC 11 or Sh2-184 is a bright emission nebula and part of an H II region in the northern constellation of Cassiopeia and is part of the Milky Way's Perseus Spiral Arm. This 20×30 arcmin sized nebulosity is also associated with open cluster IC 1590, several Bok globules and the multiple star, B 1. It collectively forms Sh2-184, spanning over a larger area of 40 arcmin
