VDB69 et al
This remarkably coloured star forming region lies in Monoceros about 2700 ly distant.
The bluish reflection nebula just above the orange patch is VDB69. Other designated objects in the assembly are VDB67 (NGC2170), VDB68, VDB72 (NGC2182), LBN999 (the ionised Hydrogen patch)
The surrounds are obviously very dusty.
Field of view here is about 90' X 70'; The image is RGB, 6 hours total exposure time. A synthetic L channel was constructed from all subs in lieu of separate L due to time restrictions.
ASA10N at f/3.6; Moravian G3-16200; DDM85A unguided.
