Nice job of capturing the nebulocity of the sisters. I know how hard it can be.
Nicely processed as well.

Thanks guys. We finally have a clear night, I’m trying to add some exposure time tonight. This is one of my bucket list items. I couldn’t figure out how to get a light pollution filter added to this setup, but doesn’t look too bad so far.

Yep! And a lot more interesting than just looking at perfect Hubble images. In fact, when looking at Hubble images, I have no idea whether they are within reach of what I can see. Nor do I have any idea as to where they are in the sky or how hard they are going to be to capture.

But if I can capture it, I now know something about what it takes to see it. And no matter how poor my efforts are when compared to Hubble, the image now has an attachment to me.
