Hi,
Well, conditions were not that great, but I spent two nights on IC1805 (The Heart Neb) with a total of 7.5 hours of exposure.
Here is a jpg of the shot, the first draft so to speak. I think it is not too bad, for what I had to deal with as clouds were being pesky and the seeing was not pristine.

Hi Floyd,

given the conditions you describe, I'd say it is a very good result. I'm not a great judge of processing, but I like the image a lot.

Hi Floyd, the purple in the center is very beautiful! Floyd, you have come a million miles from when you first started imaging...in a short period of time. I enjoy your images and they keep getting better while the targets keep getting more difficult. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Floyd,

Very nice shot, whatever the conditions were! Looks like you made every photon count from that image! This is an LRGB or an HaRGB?
