Horsehead and flame nebulae
Carefully framed picture to get both the horsehead and flame in one shot, taken as part of Stargazing Live from my back garden. Celestron Nexstar C8, Starizona corrector, astromodded canon EOS550D, CLS clipfilter, CG-5 mount guided with Celestron guidescope/SP900C cam and PHD guiding, BackYardEOS image capture. 40 x 120s subs at iso3200, stacked in DeepSkyStacker (without darks - in a hurry). Everything crahsed atleast once - laptop froze, and even the scope controller crashed and lost alignment. Still, it was beautifully clear and dark.
