A stunning image, Leonardo. Congratulations. We're all familiar with the Cone nebula, Xmas tree cluster and Foxfur nebula but I had no idea that the wider area was so rich in beautiful objects and so colourful. Just amazing. Thanks for posting this fantastic photo.

There is just so much going on in that image Leo it is difficult to take it all in. A great job with the modded 5D in capturing this area. Thanks for sharing.

Great shot Leo. Very deep colors. :thumbsup: Did that area in Ha years ago. Seeing your shot makes me want to try in color from a dark site. :thumbsup:

I apologize, I thought it was an area not easily accessible from you or not to much high. Thanks for comments. Yes, is 90 minutes with a modded DSLR, I took advantage of the cold nights even up to -8 ° C and the sky dark and clean swept by the wind. With a so fast focal i don't need a lot of integration in my experience. Of course the picture is very stretched and i pubblished it at 50% of the actual resolution. Gradient from street lamps is the real fighting from my site.

Again thanks to all.

All the best,
Leo
