This nebula is drab and nondescript in RGB, but it comes alive in narrowband.
Imaged, as always, from my light polluted back yard.
ST10 on a 6" refractor, 17 hours unbinned.

Thanks, guys!
I made it easy on myself and got some good data for this one. Processing sure goes easier and quicker when starting out with lots of signal.

That is a gorgeous image! You are fast becoming an expert in narrow band. Your images all seem to have superb processing.
