About this image

While waiting for McNeil's nebula to rise higher I decided to have a quick look at an object Owen Brazell mentioned in the recent DSS Webinar. A small patch of nebula hanging on the edge of Barnard22, it showed a lot of fine detail. Other peoples pics look nice in colour though... Am surprised its not more often imaged.
