NGC 1931 Fly Nebula
I usually crop my images down more than this but, there is a few clusters towards the edges and to the far right is IC 417. I may reprocess it at a later date and crop it right down to the fly nebula.
The Fly nebula lies in the constellation of Auriga. It is an emission nebula and a reflection nebula. Sometimes referred to as a mini version of the Orion nebula, as it has a star cluster, including it's own version of the Trapezium. Some estimates have the nebula at about 7,000 light years from us.
Boring techie bit.
