Well, I'm not overly pleased with how this came out so I'm going to shoot some Ha data to add. I want to try to bring out more of the surrounding nebula. Never the less, I've always missed this one in past years due to weather or down equipment so I had to try.

AP 155 EDF f/7
ST-10XME
RRGB 60:60:60:60min.

I'll reprocess and repost after I add the Ha data -- hopefully it will be better.

Great image Thomas! I also got a chance to check out your web page tonight...... very nice!! It looks like a sweet setup. How do you like that clamshell dome you are using? Was it super expensive? I enjoyed reading the description of your equipment, and I just loved the way you mention a BRC-250 at the end: almost an afterthought. Most people would kill for a BRC! Do you ever use it for imaging? What are your impressions of it? Sorry about all the questions, but the webpage got me thinking about a few things. Thanks for sharing your great images with all of us.
Cheers,
Tyler

Here it is with Ha data added. It really brings out the nebulosity. The Bubble almost looks 3D in a way.

(HaR)RGB (120,60):60:60:60 min. RGB bin x 2

Cheers,
