I just love shooting in H-Alpha. I don't have to worry about light pollution, the Moon, or my neighbor's flood light. I took this last night from the backyard absurdvatory. 10 shots, each 10 minutes long with the Schuler H-Alpha filter and An SXV-H9 CCD. Same setup as usual. AP-130F/6 with TV-85 .8X focal reducer mounted on my G11/Gemini. Autoguided with an ST-4.

Hi Ralph
First, we have the same light pollution problem and second, I noticed that your image would make a great mosaic frame to the image I have from a couple of weeks ago. I though it was pretty cool the way your image kind of picks up where mine leaves off. Its not perfect, but somebody else grabs a piece of this and we have a full image!
