Soul Nebula

Had a couple of goes at the Soul Nebula, wish I had the money for an apo... this were taken with a 120mm f/5 achromatic refractor, still a work in progress, need to add to the mosaic, but too tired to set up this evening.

A promising start! Definitely something to build on. What was the camera?

Interesting. You might want to give some thought as to how you are going to combine the data from each filter into your resulting mosaic.

The software I use has an RGB combine tool, and provides a number of preset combinations to try. I generally try many of them, and then make some minor manual adjustments to try to pull some detail out, without bringing out too many aberrations.
