You all know this iconic nebula by its Messier Number and its common nickname.
It looks a bit different in narrowband with the CFHT palette, though. It's rather like a rose.
A large image and information can be found here:

Thanks for looking,

Dan,
Excellent image. I love the deep shots with narrow bands for this object. I actually prefer the CFHT, but it doesn't seem to be as popular.
