Description

I think the Flaming Star and Tadpole complex is stunning.  I pointed my Sky Watcher Starlux Mak-Newt at the heart of the Flaming Star nebula for a few nights and this is the result.  I was surprised that the reflection nebula that winds through this area is almost completely filtered by my dual narrow band filter.  I'll need to try it again in RGB when the moon is not as bright.
