I never intended to get a lot of data on this target. It was a target I chose to grab a few hours in the early evening before my main targets would rise. Slow but surely I got more and more data on it over many nights. An hour here, couple hours there. Before I knew it I had really gathered a good bit of data on it and went to see what was there. I was not disappointed! The very familiar fish head nebula is now a large lunker of a fish surrounded by cosmic sea weeds and nebula pond life I dont see in other images of this. There are some very amazing dark column structures and huge flows of gas especially around the mostly obscured OIII emission region under the belly of the beast! Another area with amazing dark structure is near the bright star HD14817 at the left edge of the image. In the lower right where was substantially more SII emission leading to a darker red hue in my SHO image.I didn't realize this area would be so dense with nebulosity across the whole of the image. It is so dense in fact there is only 1 galaxy peaking through. Besides its designation ZOAG G133.96+00.87 there is nothing about it listed. Boy does it look very tiny compared to the breadth of nebulosity everywhere. This is by no means a wide angle image either.I know most people go for the heart of the heart nebula, Melotte15, but I am glad I decided to get an hour here and there on this one!

Superb and fascinating - thank you!
Not getting many clear nights, you must have them all 😂😂❤
That's simply gorgeous. 43 hrs paying off. Nice details. Thanks!
Looks Great , Nice job.
Brilliant mate... breathtaking what you can do with colour when you have so much integration to play with
Stunning image!
Awesome image, Frank!
Love that new technique for adding back the stars.
Great video as always :)
Really an amazing image. You are correct that there’s not many images out there that go deep on this object, if any.
Thanks for this! I have a ton of 'Lunker' frames that I have never been able to get an acceptable image from. I'm going to fire up PI and give this a try!
Great image. What camera and focal length of your setup did you use?
Thanks! All equipment is on astrobin, but ASI294MM at 950mm f3.8
great image of probably my least favorite nebula . Kudos
No love for the fishhead??
