Description

This image was taken over two nights in late May with an ASI2600mm Pro through an Astro-Tech 80ED using a Hutech Field Flattener.

The image comprises:

Ha:     32 x 300s
R:       20 x180s
G:       20 x 180s
B:       20 x 180s

Total integration time was five hours and forty minutes. The image was processed in PixInsight and tweaked in Photoshop. 

Another image of one of the most popular nebulae in the northern sky. I had been hoping to capture the Pillars of Creation with my much-anticipated and long-awaited Celestron EdgeHD, but that hasn't arrived yet (July, they say ... maybe), so I opted for a wider field view with the 80ED.
