ASTRO: VDB142 in Ha

This is such an interesting region, I just can't get enough of it.

I stumbled across it for real in the fall when I was performing a widefield
survey of large nebulae using emission line filters.

I did get that widefield shot of IC1396 in [SII], Ha and [OIII], and decided
that I needed to image it at high resolution.

I am not finished with the high resolution mosaic but did manage a
reasonable shot of VDB142.

It really reminds me of Tech Pan so I am posting it here because there is
such a deep appreciation of Tech Pan in these forums.
