Description

First real attempt with my modified D5100 on Ha-emission nebulae, I'm pleased how this worked out considering it was from my Bortle 7 front yard with a light pollution filter. I'm still loving my Nikon 180mm f2.8 lens, having it effectively stopped down to f4 by the filter has definitely helped. This is cropped down from the full image.
