I’ve found this to be a relatively tough object to image from my back yard and the extended nebula is surprisingly faint. Still, it never fails to amaze me how beautiful the deep blue of the reflection nebula contrasts with the red of the emission nebula. Although I’m using a stock XTi I’m very pleased with its color performance.
