Hello all.
Here is another image from my trip to Kanab, Utah in mid October. The nebula itself is fairly bright but the dust takes some exposure time to get right. I could have used more color data on this one, but it turned out OK anyway. Comments are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

That dust looks nice on this monitor. I can feel your processing challenges with this dim stuff.
