Description

Flame Nebula/NGC 2024 and Horsehead Nebula/Barnard 33

First time pointing Stella (WO GTF 81) towards this region, and I'm quite happy for my first go at it. Didn't really collect a whole lot of data, and I'm still not using bias or flat calibration frames (i know, i know), so I'm very happy to have actually caught some Horsehead, especially with a unmodified camera.

I'd like to expand my processing techniques, and I'm curious to see what you all might be able to do with my RAW stack. Here is the link to my 97MB TIF stacked image, completely unedited:

I'd love to see the different variations you guys/gals come up with. Be warned though, if I like your final image, I will probably badger you until you tell me how you did it. Have fun!
