Well, not the best image I admit. wink But with the poor weather plaguing me like a demon, I am happy to get anything! grin

I decided to try SH2-101, The Tulip Nebula, a not so easy target I found out. This is not a bright object and it does not have clear definition, or at least not with the conditions that I suffer. cwy

But here is my attempt at this. RGB each 15 x 10 minutes and Ha 6 x 15 minutes. This was all the time I could manage in two nights. Could use more I think and maybe some Luminance as well.

Hope you like it. This is at my gallery, click on the image to see the full resolution. This is about 1/2 resolution as the site has size limits and I can not post a full resolution.
