An expansive field and just missing capturing an object I got independent co-discovery of a few years back (named PA161) It is located in the top almost 45 degees from Barnard's galaxy and just out of your field of view. It is a planetary nebula of considerable size (nearly as large as Barnards Galaxy in angular terms). Might be worth doing a mosaic panel just above.
As to the image, great colour and detail. Nicely done Mike. Love the layers in the thick dust cloud. The amount of IFN in the field is incredible.
