Well I had no choice last night the moon was in the south southwest so I needed to shoot something to the north northeast why not M27. This is my first attempt with the the G11. The image was taken using MX-715, Orion 80 ED, Guided using PHD and a DSI ProII all on a G11, the times are listed on the right side of the image. Acquisition was done in AstroArt3 & Processing was done with AIP4WIN and Photo shop cs2.

Nice shot! It seems a little blue however. One thing this nebula is known for is its "teal" OIII region. Try bringing up the green a little and backing down the blue just a smidge.

Great shot Bob! 8)
One thing you might want to do before "finalizing" your shot, is comparing the colors/appearance of it with other existing shots, that way you'll know when you got it right... wink

Clear skies, my friend, and thanks for sharing! 8)

Bob,
At least someone is getting color! Glad you're getting use out of those filters. Nice shot, BTW.
