It is one of the largest star forming regions known in our local group of galaxies. It was discovered in 1786 by W. Herschel. Here, it was imaged with the PW17 unit, part of the Virtual Telescope Project. A total of 17 exposures, with 5 minutes of integration each, were averaged. Images were unguided, completely trusting the Paramount ME mount. The CCD camera is a SBIG STL-6303E. The image scale is of 0.78 "/pixel.
