B343(LDN 880) is the dark nebula on the right side of the image and
Cr419 is the small open cluster hiding behind the bright blue star in
the upper left. There were numerous passing clouds, poor seeing, and it
was very windy at ground level. Not an easy night to image but, you take
what you can get.

Much improved. I thought there was more to the image than the first
shot showed.
