Maciej,

Very nice image! The darkness of the background and the object itself lends very well to your title! Are your exposure times in minutes or hours?

Eric

Looks nice. I know it is mostly Ha lighting up the background, but I wonder what those dark clouds might look like if you ignored the hydrogen and stretched everything else way farther? Just a thought. It is nice as it is though.

Maciej,
Nice image. The Ha data does provide a different perspective than an RGB. Of course with the dominant Ha data, the blue reflection portion of vdB 62 next to LDN 1622 is a little less noticeable.
