Description

This is the result of stacking 245 ten minute narrowband exposures (approximately 40 hours) of the Flaming Star Nebula.  These ten minute images were captured using a relatively small APO refractor (92mm) as extended by a small amount by a field flattener connected to an APSC sized sensor (ZWO ASI 2600MM).   This has a very different look than my first Flaming Star Nebula that was captured with a wider field of view on a larger aperture telescope.   I processed the colors and the brightness in such a way as to emphasize the look of flames surrounding a small stack of embers burning at the core of the target.   I was motivated to reshoot this target by recent images posted by members of the Northern Virginia Astronomy Club.
