Nice and red too. Did you use techniques in Photoshop to make it red, I find I need to otherwise the 300d renders emission nebulae as a bluish-purple.

That's really nice Narayan, one of your best nebula shots I think! The dark lane isn't as prominent as I would've expected, but that's probably due to my expectations, not your imaging :D
