IC405 - Flaming Star Nebula

Recommended Posts

This is first light through my new set up.

Altair Astro 102 Triplet using an Altair Astro 269c with an Altair Astro Quad filter. Guided with QHY 5-11m and a QHY mini guidescope using PHD2

This is a total of 5 hours 20 minutes exposure in 360 and 600 second subs - 560 Gain and Offset 24, captured with APT and calibrated then post processed in Pixinsight.

It has to be one of the best data sets I've ever had the pleasure of processing, taking little effort due to the low noise.

It was captured on 19th & 20th December under partial moonlight.

I now have the Altair .79 reducer/flattener which will get rid of the streaky stars at the edges next time the weather & moon give me a break!
