Hi all,
I know not beautifull as the one from Rick but sure a try..
Composed out of 3 images in H-Alpha, OIII and Blue...
This one is my first try with my homebuild camera to take color shots.
I must say the actual imaging is less work than the edditing afterwards.
Boy do I agree with that. I have a stack to process because they are the
more difficult ones. I do the easty ones and let the hard ones sit for a
while. Aging is good for wine, maybe its good for astro images as well!

But i think i managed to make it look good in color.
Color is always a lot harder with narrow band filters if you are after a
realistic color. You did a good job here.
