Had two nights of clear skies, but with full Moon up, so could only shoot narrowband.
This image is composed of Ha and OIII, 15 x 20 minute subs. It's a bicolor image, OIII is used in green and blue channels. (needs lots more exposure, but running out of time and skies).

17" AP Astrograph, STL11K, 1600 mount, MaximDL.

Nice image Roland..very nice. Did you generate those star spikes or are they some artifact of diffraction in the Astrographs system?

Very nice Rolando! That 17" sure pulls out a lot of detail in a short time.
