IC 405-Flaming Star Nebula

[Eri]

So i'm moving out of the beginners section and entering the universe of DSO's more fully.

This is my first real attempt at IC-405 as I've managed to get a clear enough sky for a good amount of subs.

This is currently a first draft process through PS, it has 58 30sec subs and 30 2min subs stacked using DSS and a quick run through Photoshop

Thoughts, suggestions, criticisms all welcome

Excellent start...

Eri, I think you actually missed a good part of the nebula off to the top and right of your image, you need to re-frame with the bright star which is currently near the RH edge placed near the centre.

yeah thats what I think too, i need to work more on the alignment and syncing with stellarium or possibly turning the camera in the focuser not sure yet, usually its "good enough" to keep me going. I know theres more image to be had from moving the frame slightly
