A short head

[Helen 3,478]

Last night was the first time this season that I've managed to see Orion (my south-east horizon is blocked by some huge oak trees ). So I thought I'd give the horsehead and flame a go. Unfortunately it clouded over after only 6x5min subs. So here's a short head!

Atik460 colour, WO FLT123 with 0.8 FR, Hutech IDAS filter

Guided (with a WO Megrez90 and ATik 16ic) and captured in Maxim. Stacked in DSS, and finished in photoshop.

I think getting loads more subs for this target (and learning to control Alnitak) is my project for the next few weeks.

Edit: uploading this seems to have muted the colours and added a lot of noise

Great start Helen, I aways leave it to late to image this target and weather conditions spoil its protential.

Nice one Helen - great for so few subs

[VigdisVZ 621]

Very encouraging result! Can't wait to see it with more subs.

Looks like it has all the makings of a great image...

There's a lot there for such a short exposure. Really good.

Thanks all - I love all the different types of nebulae in this area, and the different colours.

Just need no clouds now!!!

Very nice capture, the more subs you get the less the noise will become...
