Ever since you gor the widefield setup, I've been waiting for you to do this region! I will never forget when I saw it for the first time in the AAO image. Also since it's me, I've got to make the obligatory statement about how it would look better north up. :-)

Also I would love to see a widefield of NGC 6822 with 10 hours of OIII.
