Finally had a chance to add some more luminance and RGB together for this final portrait of the Coccoon taken with the 305F3.8 astrograph and the QSI 583 camera.

Very impressive! I just did a side by side comparison with one I just finished with my AP130. That 305 sure picks up the subtle details. Sweet!

Roland,
Is that blue dot in the upper right corner a tiny planetary? It sure is blue compared to everything else.
I didn't pick up the blue color in my image, but you sure did.

Very impressive Roland!

Maybe someday an RH will be in the observatory.
