IC-405 Flaming Star Nebula

Well, conditions were not great last night, but I tried anyway to capture IC-405. Seeing was fair at best so my focus just would not come out sharp.
Here is the outcome of my efforts. I had a bit of a problem during the blue capture, so the blue channel is not too vivid.
L = 60 min
R = 20 min
G = 28 min
B = 16 min

Hi Floyd:

Very beautiful composite, I can't help but wonder just how many inhabited planets are out there orbiting around some of those colorful stars that you captured?

Thanks for posting, Dan

Hi Floyd,
Looks good for the poor seeing conditions

Have you started taking and using flats yet?They sure help to bring out the fainter details on objects like this and clean up the motes too.

Nice one Floyd,
Too bad about the seeing and the issues with Blue though. Look like you have made a good showing with the data you did manage.

Floyd,

Your Flaming Star image looks like a narrowband shot! You did great with the data you captured! M78 looks a bit too red to me.
