Took this last night from the SHSU observatory outside Huntsville, TX. APM 130/780 apo on an Orion Atlas (EQMOD). 12x5min H-alpha and 6x5min O-III using the ATIK 16HR and Oriono narrowband 7nm imaging filters. 2x2 pixel binning employed for both H-alpha and O-III. Darks and bias calibrated, registered and stacked in DSS. Final processing and merge in PS CS2. For this image H-alpha is red and O-III is both blue and green.

Anjal.

Cool shot. That is really interesting how the O is so centralized.
