When I looked at the original photos of this nebula (shot the same night I did Heart & Soul nebulae) I thought I wasn't going to get much of a picture, but I was so pleasantly surprised once I got into processing. This is a relatively large nebula. It was shot at 400mm when I normally use my max of 600mm. What a treat. Space is so exciting and doing it with relatively inexpensive camera equipment just startles me. What a joy.
