IC 1396

This was shot last autumn, with about one hour of total integration time. I wanted to test a camera with small 1.45 micron pixels on nebulae. After collecting about an hour of data, I realized its sensitivity wasn't great, so I abandoned the project, stacked the data, and forgot about it. Now I've come back and processed it. There's not much hydrogen data, of course, but the small pixel size did resolve the stars quite well—that's mainly why I'm posting it. I'm not aiming for artistic value here; it's purely a technical shot showing that smaller pixels increase resolution.
