[dugnsuz (Doug)]

Hello all,

First image from my Barnard's Loop HaRGB project.

5 hours Ha data.
Canon 40D (modded)
Canon 70-200mm f4L @ 70mm
iso1600.

Bit noisy.Taken on nights cooling down from days with temperatures in the high 30's.

Correct Trevor - did a wider field with the nifty fifty, but it had some wierd colour gradients in it which always peed me off!

Subs were 15mins long.
