Hi.

I took this image over two nights using my dual rig.Consisting of an Altair 102 F7 with a 0.8 Reducer,and a Atik 314E ccd mono camera.The second scope is a WO Zenithstar 61 with a very old Atik 16IC mono ccd camera.

I took the Lumiance with the 102mm scope with a total of 4hrs in 300 sec subs.

The R and B subs were a total of 2hrs each with 300 sec subs.I synthesized the Green.I calibrated wit Flats and Bias,but no Darks.

Minimal processing in Photo-Shop.

Cheers.

Mick.

Excellent Mick, the colouring is nicel and subtle and I think you have done a great job to pull out so much detail using a short focal length.
