The wide area of nebulosity in the centre of this field caught my eye because I reckon that it looks like a laughing clown. The Lady Gabriela Mistral Nebula (IC2599) is prominent in the scene hence we have the "The Lady and the Clown". I like the way that the Gem Cluster (NGC3293) looks like an earing that the Clown is wearing.
For this image I was trying out the QSI683 camera and my recently acquired (pre loved) FSQ106 to see how it would run. Turns out is suits quite well and comes in at and image scale of 2.1". I applied drizzle integration during processing given that the data were a little under sampled.
