The image is a 3 hour RGB exposure done using a Tele Vue NP127is telescope and a QSI583wsg CCD camera on a CGE PRO mount. I took the image from Calgary, Alberta. Camera control and preprocessing was done through ImagesPlus. Processing was done through PixInsight with final touch-up, as required, through Photoshop. Guiding was through PHD2 and a Lodestar camera. I find it very cool in the way the hot blue stars cause the surrounding cloud of gas and dust to give off a blueish glow. Although easily visible to the unaided eye, the true beauty of this object is best appreciated through the camera.
