Description

Using the wide field of the FSQ106 with the reducer, I was just able to fit these two objects into the same field of view.  Once I had shot the LRGB and processed them, I noticed that there was a faint Ha signal in the red channel.  So I went back and got some Ha.  It was very faint, but does set an interesting background to the interestingly shaped dust clouds and reflection nebula.
