This is the last of the 3 images I took at Riberac. Taken on 29 Aug 2011. Unfortunately it was on the warmest (18C) and murkiest of the 3 imaging nights. The sky was similar in quality to an average night at High Halden.
Details:
53 x 5min H-alpha modded Canon EOS350D at ISO800 on Tak Epsilon 180ED using Astronomik CLS filter
The image could really do with a bit more data to reduce the noise, because it is quite a challenging target.

Another great one Mark.
Glad to see you didn't spend all your time lazing around ;)
Very nice Mark, this is a new one to me. I like all the different depth levels of nebulosity and lovely stars colours as usual.

Another good 'un, Mark.
