Here is one I shot November 5, 2005. The green and blue exposures had a lot of data in them - that surprised me. So the nebula colors have more than the usual red. I left the nebula a bit pinkish. Anyway, I attached a mid size image, a full size image is at:

Thanks guys for the comments.

Vince, I didn't think there was any blue in the object either until I saw it.
