At last with all the bad weather out and clouds in the UK, I managed to get some imaging done last night with good ish skies and no real moon glare.
So to meet the Horse / Flame challenge in this forum, IC 434 was the target.
Managed to get a few other targets as well such as the bubble nebula and the cone nebula, but yet to process these.
So here is the Horse and Flame nebulas in Orion.
Shot with the Skywatcher ED120 900mm F7.5 refractor via a EOS 1000D Baader modded and Astronomik CSL clip LP filter.
Couldn't guide with the off axis guider as no decent stars for the framing I wanted, so used the trusty Skywatcher ED80 Pro II with QHY5 / PHD combo.
Subs were 1 hour of 5mins and 1.5 hours of 10mins at ISO 800
A bit of processing (well a lot) in Photoshop to give this result.
Hope you like it.
