Flaming Star Nebula and Neighbourhood

[Knight of Clear Skies]

Here's my effort on the Flaming Star nebula and its surroundings. Field of view is 6.28 x 4.25 deg.

Bit of a mis-mash of focal lengths and cameras, but that's what Registar is for. An old colour image I took with a DSLR and 200mm lens along with Ha data from the 1600mm cool using the Samyang 135mm f2. I'll try reshooting the starfield if I get the chance, the Ha version is more successful.

The starless version shows the nebulosity a bit more clearly.

Here's the Ha data blended into a 50mm lens shot to show the nebula in context.

The Spaghetti Nebula is also within the field of view, so I might have a go at blending that in too sometime. (Although keeping relative brightness with the Flaming Star might be difficult.)
