Default The "Ghost"/"Northern Bear" Nebula

All:

I've attached an image of IC1795/NGC896 that I put together this week. This subject is sometimes labeled as the Northern Bear nebula, but looks like a little ghost rising out of the nebulous blob that is the corner of the Heart nebula.

Larger versions of the image, with additional subject/image info are available on the following web page:

All:

Appreciate the comments.

I still have 3 or 4 more photos to process from last years' photon collections, and hope to get some breaks in the clouds in March to look at one of the Sharpless nebulas, so hopefully I'll get another photo out soon.
