I will confess that I am not an astro photographer but I do like looking at imagery like this. Nice palette.

This is on my top 3 favorite list that I can capture! In fact I just captured it on Monday night up in Colorado. Love your detail you are getting with the ASI2600mc.

What a beautiful color combination. Nice one. Bill.

Interesting how the three DSOs have different color palettes.

This is always such a great target, really nothing else out there with the variations in colors that this region possesses. Lovely colors and nice framing - you got the very dramatic dark nebula streaming off to the right in this image, that really adds to the overall impact.
