NGC 1999

Hello everyone! I know it's been a while. I have a ton of data to process, and not enough time for everything. I finally got around to considering this one "finished", though I'm sure I'll find warts in it if I look long enough.

Anyway, here is NGC 1999 and its surrounding regions. This target has been on my to-do list ever since I saw the Hubble pictures of the "Keyhole" feature, and though the Hubble telescope has nothing to fear from my image, I'm pleased that the keyhole portion is visible.

Pretty cool if you ask me! That is a very tough target. 8O

Hi Enrico,
That is very nicely done! And in addition to Roland's a perfect start to the 2014 season...
Best,

Thanks, everyone! Rolando, you asked for it, you got it!
