Here is Sharpless 301. It is an HaRGB image. It's been tough for me lately. This data came between twilight and the fog rolling in. Thank goodness Ha can do a respectable job in civil twilight.

Full size image and exposure and processing details are at:

That sure is a pretty field, Jim.
I've never seen Sh-301 before, thanks for the introduction.

Thanks for the comments guys...

Dan,
I have been trying to roll through some of the Sharpless objects. Ive gotten a few, but quite frankly, many are dim beyond my capabilities (or maybe I should say patience).
