First time I'd ever seen this object and was so blown away by the colour contrast, I spent ages just looking at it through the eyepiece before photographing it. After months of grey skies my PS3 has had more love than the telescope, to the point where I had to crack out the WD40 on a few screw threads! Gosh I've missed the night sky!

Had a tricky time getting the colour to pop out of DSS, but after a little trial and error, I managed to squeeze a little something from it.

Never seen this before, really nice colour contrast.

Nicely processed, now you have blown the dust off your scope the possibilities are endless.

I was looking at this last night, your image is even more stunning than visual

Good job

Beautiful image of one of my favourite night sky objects - thanks for sharing!

Thanks everyone, glad people like this photo - wasn't sure I'd gotten it right as it's the first time I've attempted keeping star colour or processing such a bright set of stars.

I forgot the technical detail in my original post:

Strong Suburban Light Pollution

Meade LX90 8" @ Prime focuse

ISO 1600

64 x 30s L Frames

20 x 30s D Frames

Processed in CS6

I don't know about you guys, but I tend to keep some of my "focusing" shots whilst my cardboard mask is on - this was the sequence from that night and I thought it was rather "pretty".

Love it so nice to see images like this as well
