The stars burned with a lidless fixity and they drew nearer in the night until towards dawn he was stumbling among the whinstones of the uttermost ridge to heaven, a barren range of rock so enfolded in that gaudy house that stars lay awash at his feet and migratory spalls of burning matter crossed constantly about him on their chartless reckonings. In the predawn light he made his way out upon a promontory and there received first of any creature in that country the warmth of the sun's ascending

Yes, I left my focusing aid on there. Accidentally at the beginning, then I decided to leave it on to see how it came out. It is a cross made of metal rods and a sewing hoop.

Superb result! I don't think I've seen a better H-alpha Rosette! Any plans to collect LRGB data, or are you happy with this as a final product? No criticism intended--just curious.
