Cometary Globules in Puppis

Dear all, recently I have been quite busy with my work and this prevented me to dedicate much time to astronomy, including participating to this forum.

However I was able to process an image taken last April, a shot aimed to the peripheral region of the Gum nebula. This area is often overlooked but full of interesting objects, in particular cometary globules like CG4, "the hand of God" I imaged last year.

Here is the link: http://astrosurf.com/lorenzi/ccd/CG_Puppis_HaLRGB.htm
The image can be zoomed to the original version of 4000x4000 pixel

This area is quite complex to imagine since it is full a tiny stars that make difficult the processing of the nebulosity. The data:
HaLRGB (90:110:40:40:40), Pentax 300mm f/4, Proline 16803, Coonabarabran (Australia).

I attach here a low res and labeled image of this area, an higher res one is visible on my website.

Clear Skies
