Scope was my C8 at f/6 and the camera was my Art285. I have a previous image from 2 years ago here:

Great star colors, detail in the dust lanes, and unclipped gas surrounding the galaxy.
That's well processed, Jim.

Thanks for the comments....

Dan,
Thanks for the comment on the processing. I'm having almost as much fun with the processing these days as with the data collection in the field.
