Well, I think everyone has seen this, just in a wider field of view. Normally it's imaged with a shorter focal length and people call it the Butterfly Nebula. Normally, when it's imaged that way the crescent nebula is visible to the south. I did the imaging on this with an SVR90T @ 630mm so it chopped out the other bits. It was actually quite easy to process but I had enough data to work with, 2hr.35mins. total and it's pretty bright, about like NGC 7000. Thanks for the comments. We had some nice clear nights and I had some time off. Cheers and Beers. Ed

I hadn't actually seen this object before. Very nice capture, Ed.
