This was imaged over 5 nights.
It is a composit of:
Ha:
18x15min
RGB:
10x10sec.,18x40sec.,51x6min,10x10min


I processed all image groups seperatly in PS-CS2 after initial stacking in DSS.I did this kinda differently..instead of using the 10min subs for the really deep stuff,I used the 51x6min for the really faint stuff and used the 10x10min subs for a nice smooth outer neb/running man. I spent about 6hrs processing this as it was my first attempt at HaRGB with a DSLR...quite interesting.A little different from my ST402.


Anyways,not sure if the color and levels are right as I can only process on my laptop right now...Let me know what you guys think.Anything you would change?
Thanks,
Brent

just amazing. the only thing I would change is I wish I took it. I'll leave further comments to the processing gurus here. I'd say take the JPG down to Staples and get a poster made.

WOW!!
Thanks for all the kind words!And for the 10 barcokid,I really appreciate that.
This is the first image ever of mine that I have actually used as a wallpaper on my laptop.And it means alot to me that others like it.I was afraid of the color being "too much" for some as I can only process on my laptop and after veiwing it on my wifes dektop I realized the color is more "artistic" than "true"(whatever "true is,as most of this hobby is personal preference right..)
Anyways thanks so much!
