Description

This was my first attempt at deep-sky imaging, and I know there's a lot to improve up, but I'm pretty happy with my first attempt! It certainly had a lot more color than I expected. This shot is composed of 160" exposure and guided with PHD2. No darks with this one. Post processing was done in Adobe Lightroom 5 and Adobe Photoshop CC 2014.

I am very much open to suggestions and constructive criticism – I'm very new at this so I need all the help I can get.
