Description

This is an image made a few years ago with an SBIG 16803 CCD and a PW CDK 17.  Special emphasis was given to the H-alpha exposures using 30 minute subs binned 2 X 2 for maximum sensitivity.  It has been reprocessed using more current software ... specifically PS CC and AI plug-ins.  It is an LRGB + H-a image ... H-alpha was several nights worth of exposures taken from my home observatory in Foresthill, CA, USA.
