Hi all. I made a recent trip to Kanab, Utah, for a little imaging and good clean fun. Here is the first image from that trip. Image details and a full clickable version are on my website at this link:

Comments and suggestions are always appreciated.
Cheers,
Tyler

Nice one Tyler, great capture of the dust as well as the reflection nebula. Wish we could get rid of these darned high cloud that have plagued us for weeks. Makes photography pretty impossible. :S

That one is great. If it is only the first, then I look forward to more like it.
