Horsehead and Flame Nebulae in Hydrogen Alpha

Here's the product of last night's chilly foray from the back yard. Horsehead Nebula and Flame Nebula in Ha / hydrogen alpha. I love the ability to capture data like this from our light polluted back yard.

 

 

I'd normally wait to post this until I captured and combined some SI and Oiii data or RGB but it looks like Virginia has cloudy weather in store for a while so alas... here it is as it will be until nature gives me a shot to improve.

 

 

Specs:

22x600" Ha

30 dark frames

30 flats frames

30 dark flats

 

 

Astrotech AT111 refractor, Zwo ASI294MCPRO camera, Zwo / @gazingoutwards Ha filter and filter wheel, Skywatcher EQ6-R mount, 60mm guidescope and Orion starshoot guide cam. Captured with APT, Stacked in DSS, Processed in Startools, final touches in Lightroom CC. Enjoy!
