Here's my attempt at this popular duo.

Imaged the nights of February 3 and 4 with my Takahashi FS102 at f/8 using an SBIG ST-8XE and the Astrodon Tru-Balance filters.

L: 19 x 10 minutes binned 1x1
R: 12 x 5 minutes binned 2x2
G: 12 x 5 minutes binned 2x2
B: 12 x 5 minutes binned 2x2

Feedback appreciated!
Eric

Wow! 8O That is superb, Enrico! The detail is great and the colors are exceptionally nice. Very well done. I need to get more data.... my version of this pair was pathetic. cwy
