Third horsehead and flame

[namreg]

Hi guys

Haven't been on here for a while.

Added some more data to previous sessions. I wasn't going to process this because I had triple spikes around Alnitak following the addition of data from previous sessions and not realising that the camera wasn't aligned in the same way each time! Doh! So I cloned them out.

This looks more natural than my previous overprocessed/clinical efforts, although it needs shed loads more data of course, which I can't provide unguided. 1 hour 26 seconds in total.

Wow, great image. This give me great hope as I have the same scope and mount.

Cheers Mark. The mount can be a pig, but when it works well it just about does the job!

I think that has come out very nicely, you should be pleased with that.

[namreg]

Thanks Rik. Needs a lot more, but it's difficult unguided. I'll see what the situation is come the winter (never thought I'd ever wish the summer away!)

All unguided!
