Description

I think that I have to readjust my capture settings. Till now for emission nebulae, I use 5' exposures at f2.8, with ISO 200 (Bortle 8 with filter). I think that I have to get at least at f4 and pump up a little bit the ISO, to avoid losing the colors of the stars. In addition to that, maybe it would be a good idea to try again my post-process with darks, cause I always hate my background...

PS. No, I am certainly not proud of this image, but I still wanna post It for future reference.
