Description

Another broadband rendition of a favourite narrowband target, so once more this is about linking the nebula into the dusty surrounds rather than bringing out the different emission elements. This is a two panel mosaic in order to capture the vast bulk of the nebula, and due to my fixed camera rotation with the RASA. I've found it's quite a nice one for galaxy spotting too!

Menkib and the bright star below it (HR1215) gave me some problems, and are not really as I would like. But I don't like to over-manipulate...  I will see if I can find an acceptable way of improving them.
