Ic405 flaming star nebula

[Pid]

Well with this cold snap hitting us it was time to make the most of last night's cystal clear skies shooting out my back garden astroback yard style. First target I choose was a little too low in the sky so I decided on a object high up in the constellation auriga  shooting the nebula flaming star  using a heq5 tracking mount  skywatcher 130pds scope guided Canon modded  450d
30x5 min subs
10x5 darks
20x lights
10 bias frames 
Total 2.45 hours 

OK so I no its not the best and personally I feel there is more detail to pullout of the image so any help or tips would be appreciated it was edited via photoshop and used astronomy tools action set

I like this a lot.  It's quite 'red' in terms of star colour as well as the nebulosity but gotta say that works for me!

Nice process.... hat tip.

Cheers x6gas yeah it seems there's a lot of neblosity around that area between flaming star neb and tadpole neb but need to try and get the star colour back a little  need to learn had to use a star mask
