Hi all,
Heres my attempt at this often imaged subject smile
It is a LRGB image,my first.Heres the details,
L-15minx8 RGB8minx5 each,all binned 1x1,acquired with CCDsoft,darks,alignment and combined in Images Plus.Levels,curves,and Luminance RGB layering in Photoshop.
Taken the same night as my Double Cluster image but conditions worsened as the night went on,some thin clouds and poor seeing.

I attempted this a week ago but ended up throwing all the subs out because after taking the filter wheel out of my CFW to blow off a few spots of dust,I reinstalled it upside down :C I ended up with the filter wheel spinning the whole time I was shooting,not to mention the filters being backwards,it wasnt pretty!

Jason,
A very nice horse! I know those nights you referred to--I had a great alignment on this one the other night but myu guiding ran away from me like, well, a wild horse.
Nice going,
Larry
