Description

This is my widefield version of The Flaming Star Nebula and some of its closest neighbors.  It is also my longest integration to date, and I'm pretty thrilled with how the data has turned out so far!  While I love collecting photons at f/2.0, I may stop the lens down a stop or two to get better corner star performance.  My last several targets were shot at f/2.0, and so far all the processed images are showing aberrations that I didn't notice while shooting at f/4.0 or one click below that.  I originally thought this was due to the processing, and my lack of experience with PixInsight, BlurXterminator, etc, but I'm starting to think it is more from shooting wide open.  Anyway, at least I was able to tame it down pretty decently in this image.
