Hi all,

I am not done with this image yet, but close...that's why there is no labeling, etc. I'm pretty proud of the way this turned out. It was shot with my Mewlon250 at F/7.5 with an Orion Starshoot camera. I shot 10x60 and 20x30 images, minor post processing in Maxim DL. DSO is getting addictive! Shot from my back yard with limiting mag of about 4.

Paul,
Nicely done.

I think you are getting good results with the Starshoot. The colors seem natural. Have you done or considered doing a G2V star color calibration for your StarShoot?
