another M27

[hograt]

Hi,

My first post!

As the subject suggests, M27. A combination of HaRGB taken over a couple of hours from my back garden in Wilts. Still dealing with a little drift in my guiding but I'm getting there.

Cheers

What I really love about your image is the diversity of the star colours.....this doesn't seem to be something that every astro-imager preserves. Gee, can't wait until I get a filter wheel and can do some colour images!
