IC2872

The whole area is called Rodgers 60. We here at AP are calling it the Angry Duck with Nest and Egg.

A very faint nebula that really needs 8 hours exposure or more to bring out all the faint stuff around the periphery.

8x600 sec SII, H-a, OIII mapped to RGB.

Nice, I definitely see a bird on a nest, even before I read your duck on a nest.
