hi all,

This is a compsite image of M1. The lum is 60 mins taken with a Mewlon 250. The rgb frames are 15 min each taken with a Vixen VC200L. ST10XME used with both scopes. Processed in MaximDL4 and Paintshop Pro

clear skies,

Larry Citro

Nice one Larry! It shows lots of great detail within the nebula.

Hi Larry,
As Tyler wrote, you have some good detail there.
Something is off in the color, though. Here's an M1 by one of the 'masters', Rob Gendler:

I don't know why your color came out the way it did. Color processing can be daunting sometimes.
Good start, though.

Larry,
This is a great image - congrats.

I agree, this object can be seen rendered different ways in different images on the net and elsewhere. If I would say anything about color, I would say the green got too strong somehow. My 2 cents worth...
