Another stunner! Absolutely fantastic image, thanks for sharing.

Thanks also for the info on the capture; it's very useful for those of us with less experience.

Lovely image. I like the colour - you can almost reach out and touch it.

Aggelos:

The FS60 and ST8300 gave you a wonderful field of view. It's an interesting target, and after seeing your image I'm eager to try in narrowband myself this winter: so far I've shot it only in Ha. Congratulations!
