Nice image Paul. A great display of the nebulosity. I find it interesting how the DSLR doesn't pick up the subtle blue hues around this nebulosity. The target isn't very red, but a red oxide tone. I recently targeted NGC6164-5, haven't had time to process it. Thanks for sharing - well done.

Thanks Paul, I like that image. Today's APOD covers the same objects.
