Here is an image I took recently of the Eskimo Nebula. I attached a mid sized thumbnail but full size image as well as exposure and processing details are at:

http://jthommes.com/Astro/Eskimo.htm

I use my C8 scope and ToUcam SC3 RAW Camera.

One thing I did in the processing was to reduce the blue a little in the nebula area. I found that the blue seemed to overpower the details in red.

The color balance looks right on to me, Jim. You sure know how to drive that ToUcam. Thanks for posting that.

Hey Jim, that is a great image. You are certainly getting nice results with the webcam..... the best that I have seen. I like the color on this one. Beautiful!
