This was taken using LRGBHaOiii filters and presented in a true colour. Most of the image is covered in Hydrogen-alpha (red) or Oxygen (Blue) emission or a blend of both (Purple). The main broadband component (the white thing on the lower half of the first image) in the image is vdBH 72. It's a cute little reflection nebula that often gets overlooked due to the fact that people don't often image this particular region using broadband filters.
