    Hallo kjk,
    First welcome to the FC !
    You show us a very nice picture of the Dumbbell here !
    A flat dark Background with no noise gives the Nebula a good contrast.
    I'll think, that your 400d is not h-alpha modified because the red part's of the nebula are not so intensive as the blue part's. Can you give additional information of the single exposure times of the RAW-Pictures, which stacking program i.e.
