Paul,
Very nice lots and lots of detail, and nice Ha response, as mentioned above unmodified Canons just don't do this.
'Scuse my ignorance. I presume this is a single exposure as you mention 2min 15sec. I was wondering why the skew? If it was a result of stacking and rotation of multiple images then that would explain it. Just curious.

Thanks all!

If anyone would like to see a bigger and better (slightly less LP) version of this shot, it's here.....

John, the reason for the crop is twofold - one, I think the MW looks better in a vertical aspect, and two - the main area I've cropped out is the bottom left where the ugly amp glow appears - not only is this undesirable but it distorts the histograms in processing - it's easier to remove it part way through.

Paul,

I would also like to express my congrats on this fine image as well.

If you would like a little challenge, revisit the general area but this time capture the center of our galaxy. :wink:
