Description

Classic frame that took a few seasons to prepare.  I was planning to capture some signal this winter season but honestly I've given up on the weather at this point.

Other than the Tree, notable are the open clusters, especially the golden and ancient Trumpler 5 among them.  And, of course, the Hubble Variable Nebula.

This image is a combination of RGB data with Ha and O signal.
