Description

SH2-171 ( NGC7822 / CED 214) 
This nebula complex is a nebula region in the constellation Cepheus, around 3000 lightyears away from earth.
The NGC 7822 / CED214, is a known star forming region, and shows in the image as the blue(ish) OIII rich nebulosity in this huge nebula complex designated a number SH2-171 in the Sharpless Catalog.
I tried several ways in Pi to process this image, and eventually landed on a mix of two different results.  
This image is a dèjavu for me, and I knew all the time that I`d seen this shape somewhere, and by rotating it  90° clockwise I found my answer.
This is actually The Trollface nebula.
This was a long project over 10 nights, stretching from October 6 to October 30.
The first seven nights I only managed to collect from 6 to 36, 180sec. lightframes each nights, but the last three nights I had better conditions with less fog and clouds, and managed to collect  66 , 52 and 171 lightframes.
