Description

Colorized hydrogen alpha with RGB stars

Always one of my favorite deep sky objects, I’ve imaged this one several times but never at this long of a focal length. I can’t fit as much of it in my FOV with this telescope but I can gain resolution. This would improve a lot with more exposure time but I’m in galaxy mode now so I’m moving on and I’m pretty happy with how it looks. I always forget just how faint this is!
