After see some gorgeous images posted of this fine jewel in the sky I knew that there was something wrong with the image that I had put together. With the help of a friend I found that I had the Red and Blue channels mixed up. ( I know have a different filter wheel that I personally put the filters into and labeled them so this would never happen to me again)
I think that the little miss-hap and the end results are startling
RGB image 9x 480 seconds per channel
Tak FSQ 106
Taken WSP 2004
SBIG 10xe

You can make out 8 galxies in the FOV, if you want to look for them the larger image would make it easier

Here is a link to the image at 2.9 mb if you want to see this up close

* If you are one of the lucky ones that can not get to the image by clicking on the link and get a forbidden message you can then click the goto button on your browser after you get that message and it should work or you can simply copy and paste the link into your browser and then hit goto and that should work too
