Hello,

Here's one I started on a few weeks ago,collecting luminance between breaks in the clouds.
I shot Lum on March 24th and 26th.The color came on Monday night which was the best night I have seen in many months,not a cloud in the sky all night,seeing pretty good too grin

I have had difficulty with the image,looking back I should have shot more and longer subs for the color instead of moving on to another object.

Here's the version I think is the best so far and some details.

L-32x240s
R-15x300s
G-15x240s
B-15x300s

Reduced to 55% full size.

Thanks for taking a look and your opinions always appreciated,

Jason

Nice HII regions. It's a little dark on my Mac though.

This looks great. What is the deep sky smudgelet up top? Did you post the luminance for this earlier?

The color looks good to me, Jason, as is the dust lane detail.
