Image Scale = 7.5 arc-second/pixel

Date: 2008/07/05 (H-alpha) and 2008/07/10 (RGB)

Location: near Halcottsville, NY

Exposure: H-alpha 14 x 10 minutes and RGB 12 x 10 minutes = 4h20m total exposure, ISO800, f/4.8

Filter: Baader 7nm H-alpha filter (RGB) and Astronomik UHC (RGB)

Camera: Hutech-modified Canon 30D

Telescope: SV80S 80mm f/6 + TV TRF-2008 0.8X reducer/flattener = 384mm FL, f/4.8

Mount: Astro-Physics AP900

Green channel = Max(UHC green, 33% H-alpha red). Blue channel = Max(UHC blue, 20% H-alpha red). Levels, curves, cropping/resizing, JPEG conversion with Photoshop CS. No sharpening or noise reduction.
