Horse Head and Flame Nebula

[smr]

Hi,

Last night I imaged the Horsehead and Flame Nebula for the first time. Managed to get 120 second unguided subs which was a first, no wind at all so I think that helped a fair bit.

60 x 120 second subs
Canon 80D unmodded
William Optics ZenithStar 73
HEQ5 Pro RB mod
Bortle 6 skies
No LP Filter

Stacked in DSS, processed in PS and LR.

Thanks, yes I was surprised to get 120 seconds. I was relaxed and got setup in plenty of time and leveled the mount properly for the first time. I'd read it doesn't really matter but thought I'd give it a go anyway, got it level enough according to the spirit bubble anyway. But I think the lack of wind or breeze really helped too.
