Imaged from home near downtown Sacramento, CA, this is a combination of about one-hour each exposures through three narrow-band filters: doubly ionized Sulphur (SII), Hydrogen Alpha and triply ionized Oxygen. The filters are made by a good friend, Don Goldman. Camera is SBIG STL-11000XM (thanks for the nice chip, Mike & Alan), with a 24x36mm chip. My Takahashi TOA-150 scope with flat-field doodad was on a Paramount ME. Guiding was via SBIG 402 camera on a Tak FS-60c. Image acquisition was via MaximDL4. Darks, flats, registration and combining done in Stan Moores excellent program, CCDStack. Color combining was done in Photoshop CS2, with levels, curves, NoiseNinja and secret sauce applied therewith.
