This image of Merope nebula was shot at 20 second subs, 7x20 seconds for a very specific reason. There is a very small nebula right next to this very bright star, along with the usual whispy stuff. This first image is stretched to show the whisps. The next image will be dialed back to show the tiny nebula right next to the star.

Of course the whisps would be much more dramatic with a series of longer exposures, but that would eliminate the interesting nebula IC349.
