IC434 Horsehead Nebula and others

[PeterCPC]

Yet another Horsehead (sorry).

Imaged on the 20th using my ED120 and Modded 1200d with UHC-E Astronomik filter - 27 subs of 300 secs at 800 iso. Stacked with Bias and flats. Dithered so darks not added. Tried adding darks but it got noisey.

Comments and suggestions welcomed as usual and thanks for looking.

No need to be sorry as you have some useful data Peter.

You may be able to stretch a bit more.

Beautiful image.. much better than my recent attempt! I would just say that the masks around the flame and horsehead nebulae are visible though

Thanks @wxsatuser I have stretched it a bit but it gets noisier. Thanks @abhoriel my eyes are not what they were and I did'nt spot that - any better do you think?

Nice data and image except for I think it's slightly red... particularly on the flame Nebula... but that is the side effect of modded DSLRs... what I did with my wide shot of IC434/Flame/Alnitak was to create layers in PS and separately color balaced each part, later masking it together...
