The Tulip from West Texas

[CCD-Freak]

I am finally getting around to processing some of the images I shot at SRO at the July new moon.  

SH2-101 The Tulip Nebula   150 x 2 minutes with the ASI-2600MCp / ED127 / AP900GTO captured and processed with Astroart 8.  

I want to shoot some Ha to add to this next time I am out.

I am still playing with this data to see if I can give it more "pop" without messing up the size and color of the stars.  I am sure there will be more versions to follow.

Nice!  Plenty of room for a broadband version like this - I like the way the Tulip sort of blends back in to the background.
