Description

IC 405, or "Flaming Star Nebula" has been shot over two nights back in January, and was meant as a part of a mosaic, but due to time and weather is unable to start the other panels, so i went on to process this one.

The picture consists of Ha, R, G & B. I've used the Ha as luminance and a bit in the red channel as well.

Unfortunately i was unable to create a proper starmask (i'm using a reflector, so star masks are hard to get right, at least for me) So some of the bright stars have a little halo around them from the RGB data, and the star colors are a but off.

But i hope you like it
