The Star Queen Nebula is an old discription of this object. Anyway here is an image I took last week and finally got it looking ok. I tried for Ha but it clouded up just as I opened the shutter. Data is 15,1,1,1. I used a C14 @ f/5.5 with a ST9XE. I used 1 min exposures for the Lum so I wouldn't get any blooming on the brighter stars. Also the many frames also smoothed out the gritty look that the ST9 gives because of the 20 micron pixcels.
