Description

Three nights of narrowband data on the Flaming Star.  As I'm learning, I go out to target one thing and find something else available for a couple of hours before my main session!  I targeted IC 405 at almost meridian for a couple of hours each night before the Markarian's Chain of galaxies or the Needle Galaxy came into view for a multi-hour session.

Tried both the FORAXX method (thx @Paulymanastro and @astrobackyard for the tips!) and regular processing of narrowband data (thx to @lukmatico for the process).
