Hi
A clear night last night albeit with limited imaging time due to the short nights, this is the first stage of a colour narrow band image of this area. It was taken with the FSQ106ED f5 and Starlight Xpress H36 with a 5nm Ha filter, 8x20 minute exposures with guiding via the Lodestar and OAG on a Paramount ME with dithering used. I have had a go two years ago at both of these objects but separately and these can be seen for comparison on the Nebulae page of the image gallery on my website http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk (http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk/)
Hopefully the weather will play ball so that I can get the rest of the data.
Thanks for looking
Best wishes
Gordon

Very nice Gordon, your NB images are a cut above the rest. Must be all the practice you do and the nice gear youre using.
Beautiful.
