Eskimo Pie

by Peter Santangeli

Been a while since I've posted anything... My other life has taken over from astronomy for the last year or so, but I did make it out to the back yard last night for a couple of hours and managed to grab a pretty reasonable shot of the eskimo/clown nebula. It required reasonably heavy processing, and the color balance seemed to shift a bit to red during that, but there is quite a bit of detail. C11/F6.7/ST-8. 1hr L 15m RG, 30m B.

I'm happy with it. My appologies if anyone sees it as too dark - my computer seems to have wierd color balance. Turn up your brightness :-)
