      Description

      I have imaged this area in the past from my Bortle 6 yard, but was never happy with the results.  Now with the scope at a dark sky location, this area really came to life for me.  I really like the complex color variation driven by the combination of emission and reflection activities and the dust in the foreground across the entire image.
