Hi all; well this is my first attempt at full color processing of a deep space object, I took this shot 7-6-06 with an Orion starblaster on an Atlas EQ-G mount and a SAC-7 CCD camera. It is made up of 10 75sec. exposures in R.G.B. then sacked in Registax3 and processed in Photoshop7. Ya I went a bit nuts with the stars and I know the color is off on the Neb. but its my first try. I hope you like it.

Bob

The image is severely clipped at the low end of the histogram.
