This is an object I'll be spending more imaging time on as well. It would be nice to get a color image of it with the Canon 300D so I could make a poster print. Do you have your images posted somewhere? Andrew,

I have shots from last year,that came out ok.I had to crop the images to show a larger version,which made the image grainy looking.The shot I took the other night is HUGE and has much detail but,because I was shooting through the trees and had a street light nearby.I had to reduce the exposure by a large margin.I can't wait to take anothe crack at this object. Really nice shot by the way!!! I also got a shot of this cool galaxy.Considering it was shot through a grove of trees and their was a street light 50ft away.It came out pretty good!.
