Here is the Cave Nebula. This was a Ha enhanced LRGB. Full size image is at:

This was done with my C8 at f/3.3 and Artemis285 Astronomik 13nm Ha.

I had done this object about 2 years ago...

Nice one Jim! It is fun to look back and see the improvement that has occurred over the last couple of years. Your new image is greatly improved over the old one. Keep up the great work Jim!
Cheers,
Tyler

Simply stunning!

Very nice Jim. I like the hues your images have.

Man, your C8 is sharp.

Greg.

Very nice Jim!

Very nice work Jim.

This is one of your best, Jim.
Great composition and color. You're even showing some of the greyish wisps near the center, which are visible only after long exposures.
Despite the short color exposures, I think your color data is good enough to increase the saturation a bit, maybe give a little kick to the blue?
F/3.3!-you're in the high speed lane.

Good looking image Jim,much improved over your earlier version.
You must keep that C8 meticulously collimated,it is very sharp.

Thanks for the comments guys...

Dan
I might try to play with it a little more using your suggestions. I do worry about artifacts and color blotching when I try to pump up saturation on weak data. Perhaps it can take it - I was at f/3.3

You know, I have been lucky with my C8. Actually, I have only columated once. But I did it in a large indoor structure with no air currents using a camera. I tightend things up well and it has held well for me.
