Tulip nebula, Sharpless 2-101

Gilles Cohen has sent me this image, which I processed in MaximDL and CS3 Photoshop. Left part is part of LBN174, right part is Sharpless 2-101 Tulip nebula. The image was taken last 2 nights in a heavily light polluted urban area near Nice, France.

Image details - 155EDF operating at F5.3 with 155TCC compressor, ST10XME, 7nm Baader H-alpha filter, 20x15 minute exposure, internal guided at 6 seconds, 900GTO mount.

I processed this one a bit differently using Photoshop CS3 noise rejection. Waht do you all think, versus the first one?

Roland,
That's a really nice image you and Gilles came up with. Congrats to you both. I like the detail and I like the composition of the two objects in the field.
