Thanks
I just now performed a fairly strong star size reduction on it. It makes some stars look un naturally coloured but gee it brings out the dust. With such a starry background the dust is lost among them, but reduce the stars and the dust stands out, the lower right looks almost like a bow shock. Does this nebula qualify as a Cometary Globule, streaming back under stellar winds from the core of our galaxy?

What could this 300mm lens do under a dark sky and three hours of data
