IC405 - Flaming Star Nebula in Ha

[James]

Another work in progress - IC405 in Auriga (what a fantastic constellation for imaging objects ). Just the Ha so far; I'm hoping to capture kore later - especially the blue reflection data (processing that should be fun). Those of you who've imaged this object - is it worth doing OIII and SII or just going for Ha RGB?

23x 10 minute subs captured on a Starlight Xpress H9, through a WO FLT-98 with an AFR-IV. As usual I've captured using Nebulosity, guided with PHD and stacked and processed using PixInsight.

I haven't done much to this image so far - a little noise reduction in the darker areas and a tiny, really tiny, tweak to the sharpness of the brighter areas.

Enjoy... (I hope!)

That's looking great James!

Looking good so far James, can't wait to see the finished article.

I found that I needed a LOT of colour for this as it was being swamped out by the Ha data.

Duly noted, thank you

This one may take a while...
