Description

This is the first time I have attempted Lower's Nebula.  It's a bit low to attempt from my backyard, so I thought I'd give it a try from the SRO.  The Ha is so dominant in this nebula that I found it difficult to bring any interesting color to the image.  While the detail in the lower center is beautiful, the rest of the nebula is rather flat.  From an artistic standpoint, this isn't one of my favorite images. 

Your C and C are always welcome and appreciated.
