Hi Kathy. A super fantastic Sharpless2-155 (Cave Nebula) image in LRGBHaOiii light. I agree with Graeme on the depth of your capture. You really put a lot of effort and expertise on this project. Thanks for sharing this beautiful view with us Kathy, and I hope that your skies continue to hold up for more of this great work from you again soon.

Different color scheme from what I'm used to seeing, but, I like the red outlining the cave. Nice closeup view Kathy.
