This wasn't the target I wanted this past week but it is an
interesting region none the less. It shows many nebulae of the
emission, reflection and dark variety, although I was imaging for the
dust -- hence the appearance. You can see this dust as the faint
greyish clouds in between the cataloged objects. I can't find any
catalog for this dust. I would like to find one though.

I placed a mouse-over image showing the cataloged objects. Give it
time, the upload is a bit long, sorry.

Hi Tom,

There's definitely a lot of stuff out there. Nicely caught! And thanks for the guide through all that stuff!

Beautiful! I guess the more you look, the more filled is the universe with all kinds of stuff.

Very artful Tom. You've gotten a very nice range of colours there and I really like your processing style.

What a great image Tom,

There are so many objects in this FOV! It must have been very challenging to process with so many different features and the dust of course.

I like the RCW 36 area you have outlined in the mouse over,it reminds a bit of the Flame nebula.

Superb job!
