 Just
            a field away from the more popular North American Nebula, we
            find this gem - A highly structured cloud of nearly pure hydrogen
            with intricate dark veins and Bok globules. This is with the
            10 inch f/3.9 for 2.5h exposure with R,G,B, OIII and Halpha filters.
