Description

The Angel Nebula has it all; emission nebula background, several reflection nebulae from the nearby hot stars, bright colorful stars, brown dust, and dark nebulae.  My FOV is a little tight to get everything in but I'm trading that for a higher resolution close up.  The brightest stars are just out of frame and some of their diffracted light makes its way into the image.  I cropped the worst of it out but some remains.

For some reason I don't have my Luminance filter showing up in my choices anymore.  So the blank filter in the list is the Luminance.
