Hi,
This shot was taken the night of the friday 16th of October. The processing of this object has been a bit difficult for me, but finally I'm satisfied with the result I've got.
Details of the shot: 16x10'subs @ ISO 800 with a cooled Canon 350D Callibrated with darks, flats and darkflats WO Megrez 88FD on mount SW EQ6 Place: catalan Pyrenees, north east of Spain. Stacked with DSS and procesed with PixInsight

Very nice, especially the wispy contrast in the nebulosity. Good Job!

Very nicely done - great nebulosity and star color as well. The framing and orientation makes it look like a bird or butterfly in flight. Don't usually see it in this orientation.

It looks like it was worth all the extra effort , very well done.
I think the outer bits really add something.
