Description

The Flaming Star and Tadpole Nebulae processed in PixIsight and PhotoShop.

I processed the data as HOS and HSO images and then blended the two together in PhotoShop to achieve a more interesting colour contrast.  I hope you like this as much as I do.....

Taken with my ZWO ASI2600MM Pro camera and ZWO narrowband filters through my Meade 70mm Quad Astrograph (focal length = 350mm). Using 300 second subs.

Total integration = 3 hours 20 minutes
