This one was a tough image to me. The brightness of the stars and dim emission line made it hard to process. This my 2nd attempt on this object in three years.

But here it is, hope you like it. http://www.astrophotogallery.org/showfull.php?photo=11625

Post note! Reprocessed the data, just did not like the first process, to harsh.

The way the image turned out, it makes the nebula look like it's far in the background of the star field.

Clears,
