Great photos. Question? Are these color enhanced?
Vibrance and saturation are boosted in processing, however I white balance them so the colors you see are what is really there, there is no false color. The emission nebula in the Cygnus Wall picture is mostly near infared light emitted by the Hydrogen gas. My camera is modded to pick up this wave length as well as visible light. So the really red colors are the only ones you couldnt see with your naked eye. All these objects when viewed through a telescope are colorless to the naked eye, our eyes arent sensitive enough to perceive the faint color from light traveling thousands and millions of light years away.

Wow!
Wow very cool ever get any pics of Uranus?
No, planets are actually harder to photograph than objects much further away.
