As stellar nurseries go, this is the closest and perhaps the youngest. These newborn stars are all less than one million years old.
This area has emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, and dark nebulae.
About 12 hours of RGB with an ST10 on a 6" refractor.

[COLOR="Purple"]Nice Dan!
It's like you can see the nuclear fires starting up.
