About this image

This was a very difficult object to edit because of the number of stars in that region. But I think it came out okay. The dark nebulae region here has several objects in other catalogs including LDN 379 and Barnar 312. See the full res on Astrobin: https://app.astrobin.com/i/x8fp54
