eta in HA with FSQ 106
Hi all,well here is my first light with my new fsq ,i had taken some images earlier only to realize i had field rotation  ..so one and a half hours later i had good polar alignment 
Any way i present eta in HA ...seeing as the moon was 91%.
Combination of 14 images at 10 minutes each.
I subtracted darks and bias and tweaked the image in photoshop,all comments welcome and if you see any issues in it ,feel free to set me straight  heres the link.. http://www.pbase.com/skelty/image/98815172
Click on original to see the full image...enjoy

Dang! That's stoken Rob. Hard to beat the FSQ/KAI-11000 combo. Hey, stop copying what I do...Titan, FSQ, STL11k.  Magnificent work.

Excellent Rob, the Ha data is lovely and sharp and has brought out some wonderful detail in Eta.

 That's a knock out image Rob .... so much outlying detail .... would love to see you add a little colour data at some time ..... not a criticism by any means, I really like this Ha version, it's joined my collection.

I really liked that wavy front of nebulosity top right, looks like an advancing Sunami wave.
