Top drawer Gary! That's one to be framed and hung up on the wall!
I must get myself some of those narrowband filters!

Sweet! Mad colours man! Is this what it would look like 'naked eye' style Gary? I mean, ar the other, more red shots we've seen from members a result of H-alpha (mostly), hence more reds etc?

Seanie.

I feel like i sound like a broken record but thats as good as i've seen on these boards you guys just keeps pushing the bar. like Michael i've got to get me some filters anyway great imaging a lot of hard work has paid off defo one to frame and hang up.

Hey Seanie your right the reds are just associated with hydrogen.Most of the nebula shots are prodomontaly red because its the most abundant gas but if you want to bring out other colours then all you need is for that chemical to be present in the nebula and a filter to transmitt that wavelength ie: oxygen hence the green.
