Description

First attempt capturing IC405, the Flaming Star Nebula. The FOV of my setup will never allow the capture of all of this nebula but there is a lot of detail on the northern section of this nebula that could have been captured with better framing.

This image was captured in my backyard with 3 hours of data using 90 120s exposures, as you can see there is a lot of faint nebulosity that could be brighter with additional exposure time.

Description: I reprocessed my original data of IC405 because the original processing appeared to be quite overdone. I believe this version is probably a better representation of the data that was collected. Anyway, I think is better.
