Description

This most popular target needs no introduction, captured using my QHY11 Mono CCD using the TAK-180 in H-Alpha, again I have attempted to show the dark nebulous areas much lighter than you would normally see purposely.

It's interesting to compare the field of view with my other images of this area using the QHY23 with the same optics. (color coming soon I hope)

Total Exposure 2 hours and 8 mins.
