Well, I put off trying to capture this object for 4-5 years due to halos from filters. Finally the Astrodon Gen2 filters have eliminated them for me and I could give it a try.
The FOV was not large enough to capure the upper star, but I got the most of it. Hope you like it. This seemed to be the color that my filters captured, not as blue as some, but I think it is the proper hue.

That's outstanding, Floyd. You catpured an incredible amount of detail and structure in the nebulas.

Best M45 image I've ever seen.
