Takahashi FS-78 @ f/5.9 on vixen GP standard. SBIG ST-2000xm/cfw-8 set at astronomik H-alpha filter and binned 1x1. 4 hour exposure (24x10min). First image I've gotten in a long time; darn rain has kicked my butt. Thanks for looking!

An impressive picture. The wave phenomena are picked up exceptionally well in this image.

A breathtaking image with uncountatble details, Andrew!

Such results make lightpollution a bit less annoying.

The eye of the pelican has a face design. I cropped a close up of it. Look at the original that Andrew posted and see if you can see it. SPOOKY!!
