Hi all. Here is a reduced version of my recent image of M27. I imaged two nights to get the data: one night for Ha and OIII, and another for RGB. The full image can be seen by clicking the thumbnails on the "Latest Images" page of my website, at this link:

Feedback is always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

Hi Tyler,
Nice extended nebulosity. Looks like the extended portions are OIII?. What data set did it show up in? Blue or OIII? Also, how did you combine the 5 data sets? Did you use one as a Luminance layer, or did you just mix the Ha / OIII into the RGB data? It look like you spent three times the time on the Ha and OIII as you did on the RGB's, so I'm guessing you had fair detail in the Ha and OIII.
