A general brightening best observed when panning east to west covering a 15' area, the background is notably brighter in the area of the coordinates of the cluster Bochum 6 while notably darker around HR 2899 15' east, use of a UHC filter accentuates this glow which has a notably abrupt border on the eastern side beginning about 12' west of HR 2899 while fading more gradually in the western direction
