Here is a B&W version. The cluster and nebula lie in the dim constellation Monoceros.

This photo should have been a rich color rendition. Although I was auto guiding most of my shots showed significant star trailing. I've not figured out the problem. My first Luminance frame was very good. Two hours of Lum and RGB were no good and the last 42 minutes were very good again.

I only captured one 6 minute frame of each color, Red Blue and Green, but i got 32 minutes of B&W which is what you see here. I expect to have a redo on this later this year.
