All images I have ever seen of 2170 are very close-up shots. So.... I created this 2 panel mosaic that features both. I fancy the red "profile" of Barnard himself examining the comparatively diminutive NGC 2170 http://www.flickr.com/photos/neutronman/8340258139/lightbox/ FSQ 106EDX f/3.6 STL-11000M -30C HaLRGB 90,120,60,60,60 (for each panel) Total exposure = 13 hrs Post Extras:       dsnope Pooh-Bah Reged: 04/28/06 Loc: OC California Re: Barnard stares down NGC 2170 [Re: neutronman]       #5602895 - 01/03/13 12:24 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Great composition and processing. I've shot it before but never realized that it was so close to the Loop.

Well done John.

I've shot it before but never realized that it was so close to the Loop. Thanks. Yes, I was very surprised that I could not find a single image online that showed NGC 2170 with the Loop (except maybe some extreme wide shots, in which case you can't really see 2170). It almost touches!

This one was a lot fun to process. I find I really enjoy images where I can combine a lot of HA with the "natural light" of RGB.
