One of my favorite targets of all time. I geek out everytime I look at an image of this DSO. Although my previous attempt at this target is still one of my personal bests, I have learned so much from all of you in the last 6 months that I decided to give it another go. This is just the first two hours of data, I am looking to add more before it goes, hence the "work in progress" title.

Great shot so far Trev. I was shooting this myself last night, funny to see a smaller ccd chip with a 714mm fl is just a little larger than my Canon with the 12" @ 6.3. I remember shooting with a DSI II Pro and having the same situation :)

Sadly this is uncropped...ccd has a pretty small chip and medium focal length (714mm). Lovin' the nebulosity, thanks for noticing...and so much sharper with finer detail than I achieved before. Hoping to get some mad time on this before it goes away. The color is closer to what I have seen pros pull in too. Wish me luck and clear skies!

Nice start dude, like the nebulosity already blasting through. Is this full fov? Marc
