About this image

I have started to try and explore new regions of the sky aside from the usual culprits and I was looking for a dual band target as there was still some moon during the night. I was well aware of the extensive emission in the SADR region and thought this was a possibility with the three open clusters in the frame. I did not know about WR134, so it was a surprise when I had processed the frames. It was even more interesting that WR134 was on one of the original Wolf-Rayet stars discovered!
