Hi all. Here is the last Ha image from my one good night last week. This was taken the same night as the Orion and Veil images that I posted earlier. I just got around to processing this one. This is an amazing object, with lots of interesting structure, but I could have used a little larger chip. :C

The image is 7x20 minutes Ha, with Takahashi Epsilon 160, G-11, and ST2000XM.

Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Tyler

There's a wealth of detail there, Tyler.
It's perfectly stretched to take advantage of all available bits, too. I've found that to be harder to do than one would think.
You don't necessarily need a bigger chip, as this would be a good start for a mosaic.
Regards,

Tyler,
Nice image. You are really doing well with the Tak, ST2000 and Ha.
