The Omega Nebula is the well known object in the right hand corner but the object of the image is the much fainter IC 4701.

5 hrs Ha, 1 hr R, 1 hr G, 1 hr B Pentax 300mm lens ST-10XME CCD.

Larger resolution here.

You're on a roll with that lens all right Steven! Another lovely shot. I would boost the saturation though. I think that this is one of those vistas where you want the colour to jump right out at you but I was brought up in the R Jay Gabany school of course.

Cheers
