I really wanted to get back to this one since i took this shot. Skies were quite clear last night, and with no moon, i decided to go for it.
Well i ended up messing up the framing a bit, if i had not used the flattener and my 1D3 the nebula would have been cut off, but luckily i got it all in frame. There are so many freaking stars around that area, and the nebula is so dark, it hard to know exactly where you are (yes i do use PHD to help acquire my targets). But all worked out well in the end.
Hot dam 10 minute lights, and all of them were bang on!
