This area is about the most difficult dusty region that I have tried
to image. The dust in this region of Cepheus is very faint, and
bringing it out is a great challenge. There also seems to be a red
shift in the stars here, possible due to the dust effect.

Comments and criticisms welcome.

That's fantastic stuff Thomas!
I can definitely see the difficulty in this area, as the dust cover pretty much the whole region... well done! 8)

Hi Tom,

Fantastic looking image!

You have become a dust collector wink

Seriously though,the mix of the nicely colored stars,dark clouds,dust and reflection nebula make for a beautiful combination.

Your processing gives it a 3D appearance that makes me feel like I am there 8O

Very well done,

Jason

That is pretty cool. I'll second that 3D comment. Makes perception of front/back more apparent.
