This
            remarkable field includes IC405 to the upper right, IC410 lower
            left surrounding the open cluster NGC1893 and on the upper left
            corner IC417. This field is about 4 degrees wide, or about 8
            full moons strung end to end would fit across this frame. Two
            sets of exposures were taken to achieve this image. One set was
            an unfiltered RGB set for an hour, followed by 2 hours of filtered
            RGB with the Optolong E-Enhance filter.
