I've been working on this one since June. The Arizona monsoon season interrupted my efforts and it's only recently that I've been able to get back to it and finish. Because of it's resemblance to the Kool Aid man from the TV commercials of childhood...I've nicknamed this nebula "The Kool Aid Man nebula". Comments and criticisms appreciated. It's sure good to be imaging again. Enjoy!!
