Dreyer's Nebula IC447 in Monoceros

Hello,

A re-processing of an image I photographed last January at Coonabarabran.

The large blue object is IC447 and along with the smaller objects, I have seen it referred to as Dreyer's Nebula.

I found it by mistake while looking for the Cone Nebula. In fact, initially, I thought I was photographing the Cone Nebula.

A total exposure of 660 minutes comprising 47 frames of 10 and 20 minute exposures.

The photo is here http://smu.gs/1Dln0v1

Original size here http://smu.gs/1Dln8uw

What do you think?

Thanks for looking.

Ross.
