Here is an image of NGC 281. The framing of the object is a bit awkward and I wish I had framed it better. But, I thought the data was good and worth sharing the processed image. I have attached a mid sized thumbnail, but a full size image and exposure / processing details can be accessed at:

Scope was a C8 at f/5, Camera was an Artemis285.

Exposure time - 36:12:9:9:9 HA:L:R:G:B.

Great colour and detail. Why don't you try your hand at Mars with that Artemis camera?

That's an amazing amount of detail from a C8, Jim. Very impressive.

Very nice image, good color saturation. The nebula looks a teeny bit cyan to me, but the star colors look great.
