This large image which covers several hundred times the size of the full moon provides context on how these different faint nebula interact with eachother.  This image is a 35 panel mosaic captured in SHO narrowband, and it contains a huge number of the very faint emission nebulae which populate this part of the northern milky way. There is the flying bat nebula, the...
