Description

Before I went outside I decided that I would try and image IC405 the Flame Nebula.  I've been wanting to 
image it for a while but it rises later in the evening and I didn't want to risk losing a clear sky waiting 
on it to rise high enough to image.  However last night I couldn't begin imaging until after 9:00pm and it was
up high enough by then to image.  I did have problems last night.  Very heavy fog moved in while I was imaging
and I wound up having to trash more than half of my light frames.  I did manage to get 30 usable light frames
and that was enough to process an image.
