I might be as proud of this effort as anything I've done from my Bortle 8 skies (1 in number less than a city.) Dark Nebulae are so hard to shoot and process to get a decent result. This 15 hour effort in Red, Green, and Blue would take only 3 hours from a dark site and would likely be twice in quality.

Nevertheless, I am really happy with the result. It was a nightmare to process. and i made several attempts to improve the result without much success.

In this picture are four Dark Nebulae (LDN 1157, 1155, 1147, & 1148)  and one Bright Nebula (LDB 468.)
