About this image

Another image with minimal processing. No flats or darks. 
No enhancements other than slight histogram stretch in display only. 

H2 (molecular hydrogen) being illuminated by the young stars of this cluster. 

I love the dark dust clumps to the left of the image and the deeper reds to the top left.
