T, thanks. This is a nice object to shoot, a really bright one. There is some fainter reflection neb. around it (which I didn't process very well). Probably could use more rgb exposure time to get it. Marc

Wow, Marc, love the color...background and stars solid as usual....I really like the little "knots" of brighter stuff dead center and again at about 6:30 along with the folds along the left edge. Great detail. was nit famailar with this so looked it up, found several images made with larger instruments and you pulled very similar detail out. Very nice.

Mark, Steve, thanks. Hoping to get some Ha to add to it, we'll see if the sky cooperates. Marc
