Hi again,
This was the third subject from last Friday.
By the time I set up on this there was alot of thin high clouds and my scope was starting to dew up,this is what I salvaged after tossing 5 exposures.
This is a fun object to process,I have 4 versions grin
7 5 minute shots stacked in IP using excluded average.Its stretched a little thin.I can hardly wait to shoot this under better conditions.

Tec 140 at f5.6
ST-2000xcm
G-11

Comments,suggestions always welcome

Jason,
First off, I can't believe that season is upon us! And I think you've got a real good one, too. It's certainly a bright enough object not to need much time. Plus your color work is terrific!
