Sharpless 261 (aka LBN 864) isn't imaged a whole lot, but here is my recent
effort:

http://jthommes.com/Astro/LBN864.htm

RGB and H-Alpha images as well as details are on this page. Full resolution
is accessed by clicking the images.

This was taken with my Mak-Newt 152 mm, ST8300M and 1-1/4" Astronomik HA RGB
filters (last time on these filters - I got the CFW5 and a Baader HaLRGB
set).
