One of my favourites.

RCOS 12.5 inch, STL11000CM camera at -25C. Stunning seeing and transparency plus it was right near the zenith. 7 x 15 minutes
colour, 2 x 15 minutes Ha. I shot luminance at 2x2 and a UHC filter but they detracted from the colour depth of the image. The image loses a bit of impact in the conversion to Jpeg.
