M27 color

I was installing Browser Astronomy on yet another telescope last night, and I needed to test the color exposure portion of the setup. I took 6 sets of images of M27. the exposures are short (it was a test!), but the result came out nicely so I thought I would post it.

Collimation was a bit off, so I have corrected the elongation at upper left and reduced the image to 80% to hide my changes.

6 LRGB sets (3:3:3:5 minutes each set), luminance 1x1 color 2x2. Taken remotely with Arnie Rosner's Rent-a-Scope at New Mexico Skies (a 12" Tak RC on a Paramount ME, and ST-8XE ABG camera).

Ron,

Is the collimation off on the scope? or other item?
