Since it's primarily a reflection nebula, the Running Man isn't usually imaged in Ha. But I thought I'd see what I could capture of the faint red nebulosity laced among the dark lanes. Turns out there were a few red photons there after all!

Thanks for looking.

very cool Joe, long time since you've had a post! Hope all is ok, glad you were able to get out and try a cool experiment, planning on adding rgb?

Hope all is ok

Thanks, Jason. I've just acquired a used ST2000XM, and have been spending most of my imaging time tweaking the setup, learning new software and processing techniques, and experimenting with the new equipment. Lots to learn, but I'm having a good time.
