Description

I took these images last month, 30 each of Ha, OIII, and SII at 3 minutes each. So about 4.5 hours total.
I combined as an SHO, and calibrated with Darks and Bias in Pixinsight, but no flats.
I like this target and have an image from a couple years ago on here already.  Where the first one is sort of light and blue, this one, with a different scope and camera,  seemed to want to be more dark and brooding, so that's how I left it. 
Any comments or questions are more than welcome!
Thanks for looking, John
