Another widefield Flaming Star...

[ashworthacca]

Last night was very clear so I set up the Astotrac and thought I would have another go at the Flaming Star Nebula but see of I could get some clusters etc into the image for added interest.

The only problem was the wind, gusts upto 20/25 miles per hour were happening on a regular basis but I thought I'd persevere and see how the Astrotrac coped.

I wasn't expecting much but was quite surprised to see only slight distortion to the stars and I didn't lose any of the 40 90sec subs that I took.

Anyway, here is the result.

Another cracker combine the two?

If I knew how I would.

Honestly, I wouldn't know where to start doing that......any pointers cos I'm now intrigued.

Various ways of doing it ...

Microsoft ICE is free and works quite well.. Try that first... if they were shot at the same FL...

If not upload the two iamges and let me know where and I'll put them together in Registar....

Thanks Peter, I'll have a look at MS ICE as they were both shot at 200mm. I'll pop the images on my server if you also fancy a try. Do you still have my SGL server details?
