Description

This was taken when it reaches a maximum altitude of 26 DEG. This is really a Southern Hemisphere target, but with my new observatory and Vito's power elevator mount I could just see it.

The RGB is enhanced with the HA for some of the pink. The L is half L and half HA.

This was the first image I did in astrophotography 5-6 years ago with a Canon DSL.
