Wow, November sucked. I think the whole month was cloudy.
Finally got a chance to try out my new FSQ 106. I thought I'd start with something easy. Big beautiful Orion.

Tak. 106
ST 2000XCM one shot color
IDAS LP filter
5x8 min exposures
Maxim 4.0
Photoshop CS
Reduced by 25%

Comments are very much welcome.

I think alot of folks worry more about a jet black sky background.
First, the sky isn't jet black and second, I think you get more detail from the image if you try to match your skies actual color.
Hope you like it.
