Wonderful, Patrick! What was each exposure?

The earlier version was a total of 1 hour binned 2x2. So last night I thought I'd try for 2 hours binned 1x1. But when the two hours was up things were going so well I just let it run and eventually ended up with 5 hours. http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=3314 If you go to that link and then click on the image you'll get the full 2 MB version. Despite there having been a lot of Moon nearby and some cirrus clouds early on the end result (thanks to Tyler's processing magic) worked out pretty well. Like the last time the image consists of my luminance data to which Tyler has added color data from a picture he took a while ago. See the picture he took the color from on http://allred-astro.com/gpage2.html (3rd image from the top). Tyler's going to try to get some HA data to add a bit more color but probably not for a while.
