Details:
This is THE composition I have waited for months, and we gave it all we had on this field. A very deep base image of 45 minutes with the DSLR and 17mm lens was supplemented with a hour long red exposure imediately afterwards. The final image reveals both the rich Milkyway starfields, bright red emmission nebula, dark nebula and hordes of star clusters in this area - not to mention a really nice green comet!

This picture is awesome! You must have some nice dark skies. What did you use for the red exposure?
