Super shot Dave

The Horsehead is my next intended victim and they are threatening clear skys here tomorrow and Tuesday (heard it all before).

As I have much the same gear you have given me something to aim for.

Wow, there is some detail in there. It does look a tad orange to me though?

I processed on my laptop and forgot that i had the brightness on low from last nights imaging, processed and uploaded it looked fine. Now i have moved to my mac it is rather over-egged on the colour, will try to calm it down and re-submit.

I know that feeling, I often do that and get halfway through editing before I remember!
