Shot last night (well.. I haven't gone to sleep yet so it feels like tonight/today still) in Maupin Oregon, Bortle 2 star party site.

These three very faint dark nebulae sit in a hydrogen cloud which will be enhanced when I shoot H-alpha from my house hopefully sooner then later. Not an easy target and they require dark skies and many hours.

Another fine image of some dark nebula. I like the star colors and the contrast between the dark dust and the rich star field. Now get some sleep!
