I wanted to do a straight LRGB image since I had been doing mostly Ha LRGB stuff. The IC 2169 area seemed like a good opportunity.So the image as well as details are located here (you can click the image for a larger version)

http://www.jthommes.com/Astro/IC2169.htm

There are other IC identifications for IC 2169 and IC 2167 (IC 447 and IC 446 respectively). I know there are three van den Berghs in the image (two buried in IC 2169) and all the NGC/IC objects are identified in Lynd's catalog as well.

Scope: Explore Scientific 152 mm Mak-Newt
Camera: ST8300m (Baader filters)
