Abell 21, nicknamed the Medusa

A little hard to find at first because it was fainter than I expected. But after I settled in, a pretty sight.

Surrounded by a moat of darkness; surprised that the NPB filter was better than the OIII. The varying Milky Way nebulosity, many stars and nearby cluster made for a pretty field.
