A Flaming star from the balcony

Good Morning!

Last night was automated and worked fine. I slept my 7.5 hours while the scope collected a total of about 9 hours of RGB, Ha and O3. The first quick-and-dirty processing is RGB with Harry's "HA_Galaxy" method for integrating some Ha into the red channel.

FLT-98, FF IV, SBIG ST8300M, 5 min subs for RGB, 10 minutes for Ha. Guiding with PHD, capture with Neb2 (and my new script generator), flats for each channel, flatdarks and scaled darks for the lights (yes, I will move towards Bias frames soon). Medium dither, sigma clipping. Processing dark/flat in Neb2, rest in PI.
