Another Ha image. Interesting area, lots of stuff going on. Definately worthy of Ha in all FL's. Not sure this one really needs color. I'm out imaging now so had to process on my laptop so it probably looks a little whacked out on a good monitor.

Thanks for looking, Vince

Vince,
Wow!
Staying up late to catch the Swan, eh? That is one dramatic image and no color needed. Can't wait to aim that way myself.
Again, great shot,
Larry

Hey Vince, this image is incredible! The structure within the nebulosity is simply stunning, having a geometric character somehow. I also can't wait to aim in this direction sometime soon. So many targets.... so few clear nights! Nicely done.
Cheers,
Tyler

>>>I agree. The Ha greyscale works fine for me.

>>>I looked at it on a calibrated monitor and the processing looked perfect to me.

The composition on this one is first rate, too.
