Description

I did not realize there was so much nebulosity around NGC 2359 itself.. this took a bit of post processing to pull out the nebulosity. Acquisition was challenging due to the object staying low and light pollution ofcourse. I'm happy with how this turned out!

RGB stars to bring out star colors in HOO. Starless version is also shown to appreciate the intricate details
