LDN 1251/1247 Area in Cephus

 

Tim has been busy gathering photons.

www.imagetheuniverse.co.uk/tim

Here we have a look at the area around LDN 1251 and LDN 1247. The data is cropped from 2 panes of a final project that will also include LDN 1235 and vdb 152. Some way to go on that yet though.

I have attempted to keep a natural feel and colour and not overstretch or force the image too much, hopefully, I have got the balance about right?

Hope you enjoy.
