Description

This is my first light with the ASI2600 MM and my first narrowband picture with RGB stars. It was an interesting project to photograph this very faint nebula over 3 nights planning my sessions ahead of the moonlight.  The nebula is so faint that it took me a while to determine the right framing. The RGB stars are all worthwhile, I think after this picture I will do RGB stars with all my narrowband imaging.
