Ah. Thanks for the astrometry.net mention. Not being an astrophotographer I was unfamiliar with it, but searched there for NGC 1711 etc and these two (and more) images did come up.

https://nova.astrometry.net/user_ima...3729#annotated
and so led to this
https://astrodonimaging.com/gallery/n185-nebula/
which has some interesting info.
Now, back to work, again. Me, that is.
By the way - for months now we've rarely had more than a few minutes between clouds to glimpse anything, and most nights it's nothing but cloud and rain. Not even the moon gets through. The butterflies on the other hand are going gangbusters in my garden.
Oops - edit to add:

Now I look again, I see we found the same page, and I have exactly the same question.
