Return to Nebulas

This image was intentionally underexposed. Using Nikon Processing Software, I was able to double the exposure using the exposure compensation feature of the software. This allowed the picture to be taken in half the time. I would like a little more exposure to bring out the faint galaxy next to the Nebula. I will try that in my next attempt.
