Here's an emission nebula to provide a counterpoint to this galaxy season.
The data is from last year and was more or less a test image for a new setup.
There was some substantial field rotation so I cropped the image.
Attached is a mid-sized image. Details and a larger image may be found here:

Thanks for looking,

Hi Dan,

Nice shot.

It seems very red though. Are they hot pixels on your red channel? Perhaps hot pixel repair on your red exposures may help with that or a noise reduction on the red exposures.

I had a shot recently that needs a new exposure in green as the green exposure had some frosting that ended up spoiling the image in the colour combine step.

Greg.
