I got out this weekend, but fought high Cirrus clouds for two nights and the third had the worst seeing I have encountered.
So, I got RGB on the two better (?) nights and attempted to make an image with it. Here is the result for this object. Wish the conditions had been better, it is a neat object that is not shown often.

Looks good to me considering the conditions you state.
I agree, neat object.

Hi Floyd,

I think you did a great job with both objects, despite the conditions you described.

Yeah, neat object. Not so sure about the colours though. Looks like quite the green gradient - very prominent towards
the bottom of the picture making the nebulosity sort of an orangy-yellow at the bottom left. Great focus and processing
otherwise.
