This image shows some of the region around M38. In addition to M38 there is the open cluster NGC1907 and two nebulas - IC417 and NGC1931. Sorry for the poor focus. I have attached a mid size image, but a full size image as well as exposure / processing details are at:

Luminance channel was a mix of visual wideband and H-Alpha data.

Nice! For a moment there I thought it was the IC405/IC410 region. I like the framing.

It's funny that Eric was thinking IC405/410. That's what I thought was popping up as the image downloaded. Nice shot!

Thanks for the comments guys. I did enjoy composing the framing - it was a fun, short exercise.

Beautiful Jim! I love shots that capture more than one object.
