IC 405 - Flaming Star

Imaging again at last!

 

This is a combination of Hydrogen Alpha as Lum & Red with green & blue filters. I haven't really managed to capture the blue reflection area around the central star, but that's a good thing as I always think it looks kind of drawn on!

 

Currently shooting some red data, so will have another go at an Ha-RGB image.

 

2.5 hours total exposure, Atik 314l+ & Orion ED80T CF processed in Pixinsight & CS5.
