Description

On a very cold night in early January, I shot my favorite target - the Horsehead and Flame Nebula.  It was extremely clear and when I got done, it was 15F.  The temperature was importand since I was using an uncooled astro modified Canon 80D DSLR so the cold minimized noise.  I used my telescope with 0.8 reducer /flattener (644mm focal length) and no filters.  The cold was tough to deal with, but I was happy with the results, after workup in Siril and Photoshop Elements.  I also shot 15 flats and some darks.
