Integrated Flux Nebula near M81 & M82

This was definitely a tough one. Imaging the Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN for short) was one of the peculiar objects that were missing from my database.
The IFN is not a typical reflection nebula. Common reflection nebulas are visible near bright stars, as they scatter their light, while this one is situated on the outer galactic shell and the light reflected is instead the one from the Milky Way itself.

Nice work Nicola,
I would have been tempted to use your data here:

& blend it in.
