Finally a clear night to shoot this very colorful galaxy. I had very limited time to shoot Luminance and RGB. Only 3 x 5 minute exposures of each color and 10 x 10 minute Luminance. No time for flats or darks in the RGBs unfortunately. Imaged with AP 305F3.8 Riccardi-Honders, QSI 683WSG camera. If skies co-operate I will take more RGBs to get a better noise-free image. Even though it looks like I took H-alpha for the red, there is not any H-a added to this image.
