It's a composite of 3 hours of RGB data and 1 hour of Hydrogen-alpha data for 4 hours of total exposure. This had to be one of the most difficult images I have ever processed. I've got the full story here on my blog if anyone is interested: http://www.astropix.com/wp/2009/10/28/ic1318-complex-and-sadr/ Jerry -------------------- A Beginner's Guide to DSLR Astrophotography http://www.astropix.com Post Extras:       waassaabee Carpal Tunnel Reged: 11/26/07 Posts: 2694 Loc: Central California Coast Re: The Butterfly and Sadr [Re: Jerry Lodriguss]       #3416211 - 10/28/09 02:07 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   WOW!!

Not only is it very fascinating to see all the complex nebulosity, but also to see how different nebulas are connected to each other.
