I started imaging this waiting for another target and figured I should just finish it. Imaged over 2 nights during a nice stretch of weather here in Florida.

REPOST!! I found that I clipped the background. I also used DeepSkyColors plug-in for PS to rid the galaxy of greeness...

Thanks Jeff and Trevor. I hope you get the AT6RC in a timely manner. I do highly recommend you get the extension rings so you can reach focus.

Hey, Steve - nice wide angle on that! Looking forward to receiving my AT6RC that you "made" me buy! Seriously, though, thanks so much for pointing out that production was discontinued. When I checked Astronomics website today, the AT6RC was no longer offered - I may have gotten the last one, thanks to you! I can't wait for first light with it. Cool pic.
