    Description

    First time on this object. Will soon have Ha to add. There are some very good details in the red hues that are very well supported by the Ha I'm looking forward to trying for. In my opinion, this image Mohammad Nouroozi (http://www.astrobin.com/132330/D/) is an excellent archetype as is this one by "Marco" (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/scripts/calendar-competition/voting.2015/nebula1/152-web.jpg) which shows off the extra detail brought in by Ha.
