I took this last night from my backyard in Austin, Texas. I took 10 luminance shots in H-Alpha and only 3 shots through each RGB filter. All shots where 10 minutes long. AP-130F/6, G11/Gemini, SXV-H9, STV autoguider.

Excellent! We have identical setups, so I enjoy seeing what someone who knows what he's doing can achieve with the AP-130F/6, SXV-H9, and STV autoguider.

Hi Ralph, That is a beautiful photo. I don't do imaging but monitor this forum just to check out all the great pic's. Your's is among the best I've seen. There are a lot of great ones, I'd love to some day be able to do this. I would imagine when I get my boy's thru college(and by-george they will go)I'll be able to start getting a few of the things I need to do it. Thanks for sharing a great image and please keep them coming. Sincerely, Darrell

Very nice, Ralph! This is one of those objects that I keep missing to shoot year after year. One of these years, I'm gonna get this!
