Flame and Horsehead nebula

[Rob Astro]

One of my first deep sky images taken with a dedicated astro camera, the wonderful ZWO ASI5333MC PRO.

My processing has a lot of issues and is probably the hardest part of any image. I think a big improvement would be using star removal and procesing the nebula and stars seperately.

But well happy  with this result just need more clear weather to gather mere data.

Evostar ED80, 0.85 reducer, ASI 533 MC PRO. HEQ5 PRO

85 x 60sec, no calibration frames, no guiding. Stacked and processed in Affinity Photo.

 

Please feel free to comment.

Thanks.

Are you using Affinity Photo 2? I got it recently and it does have a lot of good JR macros available, that AP1 does not have. Regards
