Description

This region was my next target after shooting B22 back in January. I actually stumbled upon it when scrubbing through Stellarium to see what is up there for a decent portion of the night. Looked interesting and started to collect data. 

One session, forgot to set the filters correctly and ended up getting 7 hours of B channel data instead of L. The look on my face when I happily went to copy those L subs from the imaging pc and saw a full page of 'B', priceless 

I even tried to get Ha for a few hours but could not see anything interesting so just went with processing the LRGB data. There are a few galaxies in the background and a planetary nebula as well. 

Hope you like this result. Clear skies!

Description: The previous version was done with GHS and I did not like the halos around medium stars. I think I need to play with it more to see how to process it correctly. So went back to my usual STF stretch and process. I feel this is better controlled.
